Polling Districts and Polling Places
Stirling Council, like all local authorities, is required to undertake a statutory review of arrangements for polling districts and polling places every five years to ensure that suitable and accessible voting facilities are available to everyone.
They have been running a quick online survey as part of this review process over recent months, which they have been promoting on their social media channels. There are just over two weeks left to complete the survey with a closing date of 30 November.
