Aberdeenshire Councillors will be asked next week at a meeting of full council to approve several changes to nominated polling places in the north-east.
The Electoral Registration 2013 Act requires that the Council conducts a review of all polling districts and polling places every five years and Aberdeenshire Council has a policy of reviewing polling arrangements on an ongoing basis and exploring alternative facilities wherever these are brought to the attention of the Returning Officer.
In addition, the Council must seek to ensure, so far as possible, that polling places are accessible to any elector with a disability and take this into account
when designating any new polling place.
The proposed changes are as follows-
Troup BB0202 (Myrus/Macduff) Macduff Town Hall will move to Buchan Street Hall.
Fraserburgh and District BB0301(FraserburghWest)Westfield School will move to St Andrew’s Hall.
