Providing information to electors on polling station locations
Where is my polling station? is a common question in the run-up to polling day and on polling day itself.
The Electoral Management Board (EMB) is responsible for hosting and operating the elections information platform which will provide polling station and accessibility information, it will be searchable by postcode and electoral area. The EMB will provide information about the format and process for providing the information necessary to facilitate this. For more information see the EMB website.
In partnership with Democracy Club, we also provide a postcode search tool on our website. When voters enter their postcode they are shown where their polling station is, and who their candidates are. You could embed this tool on your own website, using the widget, or add a link to your website.
To facilitate this, we need you to send the polling station data for your area to Democracy Club. Once you have finalised your polling stations ahead of the election you can export the data from your EMS and email it to [email protected]. Detailed instructions are available for each supplier, if you need them.
We also provide your contact details in our postcode search tool. If your contact details change, we ask that you let us know as soon as possible so that we can update our records.
