1 April 2026 Consultation launched on review of local election boundaries in Dorset - Dorset Council
A public consultation has been launched to help shape new council wards for Dorset Council. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England wants to hear people’s views on where they live, to help make sure that the new wards reflect the size and shape of local communities.
An electoral review is being carried out to make sure that each local councillor represents about the same number of electors, and that the wards they represent reflect community identities.
For all the details and how to respond to the Consultation please see the Dorset Council Consultation webpage. The Consultation closes on the 1st June 2026.
