Redbridge Polling Places Review
Polling places across 16 Redbridge wards are set to change for the May 2026 local elections, following a council decision in July 2025.
Polling places across 16 Redbridge wards are set to change for the May 2026 local elections, with 30 locations affected. Redbridge Council's General Purposes Committee decided these changes in July 2025 to improve accessibility and convenience for voters, including those with disabilities.
The changes, which include replacing a portakabin with a church as a polling place in Goodmayes Ward, address concerns raised during a public consultation about issues such as lack of space and privacy at portakabins.
The review, conducted under the Representation of the People Act 1983, ensures polling places are suitable and accessible. The assessment of proposed polling places also considered duties under section 149 of The Equalities Act 2010. No upcoming meetings are specified.
