Outcome of the 2025 Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places

Outcome of the 2025 Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places

Schedule of arrangements

The following schedule shows the district divisions of Gateshead's 22 local electoral wards along with the polling place to be used at polls. Where new polling arrangements have been implemented, details of the previous arrangements are provided.

The outcomes of the review are summarised below:

  • a reduction of 5 districts - there are now 97 districts.
  • only 3 double stations compared with 5 double and 1 triple station previously
  • where appropriate, boundaries have been re-drawn to fully include new developments and create a more even electorate.
  • an assessment of the accessibility, location and general suitability of all polling places has been carried out. Where previous polling places were deemed unsuitable or an alternative facility deemed to better meets the needs of voters, new arrangements have been implemented.
