On Thursday 5 May people across Northampton will get to decide who represents them at the Guildhall for the next four years, and will get to vote in the national Referendum. But many people will need to cast their vote in a different location from previous elections.Earlier this year Parliament agreed to a plans that have completely redrawn Northampton's electoral map. Thirty-three new Borough Wards have been created to replace the previous 23 Wards. This means everyone will be casting their vote in a new ward, even if it has the same name as their old ward. For many people their polling station will have moved too.
When your poll card arrives, you should check the location of your polling station and make sure you know where it is. It will be at most a short distance from your home. All of the details are now available on Northampton Borough Council's website. There are now pages to help people find the ward they live in, their polling station and who the candidates are standing in their area.
