Introduction
We have to review our polling districts and polling places for UK Parliamentary constituencies at least once every 5 years. We must designate a polling place for each polling district, unless there are reasons why a polling station outside of the district would still make sense to electors. We must make sure that polling stations are accessible and have reasonable facilities for voting.
