WEST Sussex County Council elections and four local by-elections will take place on Thursday 2 May and Mid Sussex residents are being asked to double-check which polling station they will be attending before setting off to vote.

To accommodate an increasing number of voters and to ease congestion at the busiest polling stations, some venues have changed since the Police and Crime Commissioner Elections were held in November 2012.

Poll cards containing details of which polling station voters should visit on Election Day have been sent out to everybody who is registered to vote. The majority of polling stations remain the same but some have changed to make sure polling places are accessible to all voters.

“When you vote at the same polling station for many years it becomes almost routine and it may not occur to you to check your polling card to see where to vote,” said Tom Clark, Deputy County Returning Officer. “We don’t want anybody to have a wasted journey so please make 100% sure your polling station has not changed before leaving the house.”

Polling stations will be open in East Grinstead on Thursday 2 May from 7am to 10pm for residents to cast their votes in the West Sussex County Council Election, and the Town  Council by-election in East Grinstead Town South.
