Polling stations being prepared for General Election.

Although on election day the weather outside might be frightful, Conservative led Wiltshire Council is working hard to ensure its polling stations are delightful.

Since the General Election was formally announced there has been 25,366 newly registered electors in Wiltshire. 

There are also 69,027 registered postal voters.

The deadline to register to vote was 23:59 on 26 November 2019.

Our elections team has secured all but nine of their usual polling stations for the upcoming General Election.

Despite the busy Christmas period 348 out of 357 polling stations will remain the same on 12 December, they are detailed in the table below.

Your support at Hustings and at mutual aid sessions would be greatly appreciated:
