Midlothian Council wants to hear your views on the places it intends to use for polling stations in future elections to make sure the buildings are accessible to everyone.
Some polling places are also no longer available.
All comments are welcome, in particular from people with a disability or organisations with expertise in accessing buildings.
You can find full details of polling places and the proposed changes at www.midlothian.gov.uk/pollingplaces
Give your views by emailing elections@midlothian.gov.uk
If possible, the council is asking you give alternative places that could be used as polling places.
The closing date for responses is Friday 25 October 2024. Councillors will consider all responses at a meeting on Tuesday 12 November 2024.
The Electoral Registration Officer will re-publish the Electoral Register to incorporate the new scheme of polling districts and polling places, if required, in December 2024.
