Polling district and polling places consultation
We are reviewing polling districts and polling places to ensure the polling districts are appropriate for Walsall's new ward boundaries.
We’d like to hear from you if you are a Walsall resident. This can include elected members. If you have an interest or experience around premises accessibility for disabled people please share your views too.
You can suggest different places that could be used as polling stations. You can also suggest alternative boundaries for the polling districts.
Tell us your views
Before completing the survey please refer to the draft proposals and maps which show the new ward boundaries and proposed changes to the polling districts and places.
Printed versions of the proposals, maps and survey are available at Walsall Council libraries.
If you need help to complete the online survey or would like a copy of it in another format please contact us. Walsall Connected centres can help you access and complete the survey online too.
The survey is open from 9 June 2025 and will close at midnight on Sunday 20 July 2025.

We’ll consider the comments and feedback and decide on the most appropriate polling districts and polling places. Final recommendations will be confirmed in November 2025.
We’ll publish the results of the review online. The documents will also be available for public inspection at the Electoral Services Office (by appointment).
