Ward boundary changes
The Local Government Boundary Commission for England has recently undertaken an electoral review of the London Borough of Bromley ward arrangements. As a result of the review, there have been alterations to all the current ward boundaries, polling districts and polling places in the borough.
Details can be found on your poll card, or you can use our polling station finder to check where you need to go to vote.
Voting
There will be one ballot paper, which will vary depending on the number of councillors your ward elects to the council:
- 15 wards – Beckenham Town & Copers Cope, Bickley & Sundridge, Bromley Common & Holwood, Bromley Town, Chislehurst, Clock House, Farnborough & Crofton, Hayes & Coney Hall, Kelsey & Eden Park, Penge & Cator, Petts Wood & Knoll, Shortlands & Park Langley, St Mary Cray, St Paul’s Cray and West Wickham are represented by three councillors and therefore you will have up to three votes (X) on the ballot paper.
- 6 Wards – Biggin Hill, Chelsfield, Crystal Palace & Anerley, Mottingham, Orpington and Plaistow are represented by two councillors and therefore you will have up to two votes (X) on the ballot paper
