We have to review our polling districts, places and stations every 4 years.
A polling district is the geographical area created by sub-dividing a constituency or ward.
A polling place is the building or area in which a polling station is located.
A polling station is the actual room or area where voting takes place.
We review the polling districts, places and stations, to make sure that they have reasonable facilities for voting and are accessible to everyone.
The last full review in Harlow took place in May 2024 and the last interim review took place in July 2023.

When we chose a polling station, we have to consider:
- location - being within easy reach of electors from that polling district
- size - being large enough to accommodate all electors and staff to provide a good service
- availability - being available to use as a polling place on polling day
- accessibility - being accessible to all electors, including those with disabilities
