Hmm, 25 polling stations and just 47 electors in the smallest polling district. Are both of those records? In Walkley there's a polling district with two people in due to the ward boundary having been tweeked after a flat was built on it. It will vanish when (if) the new constituency boundaries come in So those two electors have their own polling station? |

In local elections they're paired with their neighbouring ward polling district, in general elections they're paired with their neighbouring constituency polling district. Luckily, there hasn't been a general election on local election day. Before the 2017 general election there was the prospect of a conjunction in 2020 if the new constuency boundaries didn't go through, now there's the prospect of a conjunction in 2022 if the new constituency boundaries don't go through. I asked an electoral officer about this, and he said they'd do everything in their power to get those two electors a postal vote. |

It is in the power of a local authority to change the boundaries of polling districts within wards at any time. It's just an administrative arrangement rather than a statutory boundary, so if 2 people are on their own then they can easily be merged with whatever is next-door.
