Polling District Review 2023

The reason for the review

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is required to divide every constituency situated within its area into polling districts for the purposes of UK Parliamentary elections, to designate a polling place for each polling district, and to keep these under review, as set out in the Representation of the People Act 1983, the Electoral Administration Act 2006, the Review of Polling District & Polling Places (Parliamentary Elections) Regulations 2006, and the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013.

In order to comply with the above legislation Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is required to complete a full review of all polling districts and polling places every five years. However this does not prevent changes being made at any time prior to the next review.

The arrangements made for United Kingdom Parliamentary elections are also used at all other elections and referenda.
