Review of polling districts and polling places
Under the Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places (Parliamentary Elections) Regulations 2006, all local authorities are required to carry out a review of polling districts and polling places on a regular cycle.
The Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013 introduced a change to the timing of compulsory reviews of UK parliamentary polling districts and polling places.
The Epsom & Ewell parliamentary constituency consists of the whole of the Epsom & Ewell borough plus the Ashtead and Leatherhead wards from Mole Valley District Council. This council conducts reviews on the polling districts/places within the Epsom & Ewell Borough Boundaries only. The other polling districts/places which make up the rest of the parliamentary constituency are reviewed by the relevant council concerned.
The purpose of these reviews is to seek to ensure that:
- All electors have reasonable access to voting facilities
- Polling places are accessible to all electors including those with disabilities

Parliamentary boundary reviews
The Boundary Commission for England is an independent non-departmental public body which is responsible for reviews of parliamentary constituency boundaries. The Commission is required by the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986 to review the parliamentary constituencies in England every five years. Information regarding Parliamentary boundary reviews is available on the Boundary Commission website.
Local Government boundary reviews
The Local Government Boundary Commission for England is responsible for administering local government electoral arrangements.
Changes outside of reviews
Changes to polling places/stations can be made outside of a statutory review, if circumstances change to effect existing arrangements. Smaller reviews maybe undertaken at anytime if required. In the event of a change to an existing polling place/station, either permanent or temporary, voters will be notified of the change by the Returning Officer on the official poll card.
