What the polling district review was, why we did it, where you can find the results.
We carried out a review to decide the polling districts and polling places that will be used in future elections.
The review didn't include:
- parliamentary constituencies
- local ward boundaries
We ran the review through a public consultation, which has now ended.

Why we needed to do this
Under the Representation of the People Act 1983, the Electoral Administration Act 2006 and the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013, we have a duty to:
- divide the parliamentary constituencies in the Bristol City Council area into geographical areas, called polling districts
- assign polling places and polling stations to each polling district
We have to do this by 31 January 2020.
A polling station is the venue where people from a polling district go to vote. A polling place is the geographical area in which a polling station is located.
