Have your say on where you vote
Wednesday, September 11, 2024
Wakefield Council is asking residents for their views on their local voting arrangements.
“We want to make sure that it is as easy as possible for people to cast their vote.
“Although the next elections in our district are not planned until May 2026, lots of work is going on in the background to make sure we have the most suitable locations for people to vote in.
“We really want to hear your views on your local polling station and how it can be better for you. So please get in touch.”
