The city council Eye and Thorney ward, which was formerly in the
North East Cambridgeshire constituency, and the city council
Newborough ward, which was formerly split between North East
Cambridgeshire and North West Cambridgeshire constituencies, are now
part of the Peterborough Borough constituency.
The city
council East ward, which was formerly divided between North East
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Borough constituencies, is now
wholly part of the Peterborough Borough constituency.
As a
result of the boundary changes, some electors will need to cast
their vote at a different polling station to the one they have used
previously.
Poll cards
are being sent to all electors identifying their local polling
station or confirming postal vote arrangements. People can also find
details by visiting
www.peterborough.gov.uk and clicking
on 'council and democracy', followed by 'elections' and 'find your
polling station'. They will then be asked to type in their postcode
to reveal their polling station.
One third
of the 57 seats on the city council are up for re-election covering
19 wards in the city. The two parliamentary seats for the North West
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough constituencies are also due to be
contested.
The
deadline to submit new applications to vote or to apply, amend or
cancel postal votes is 5pm on Tuesday 20 April 2010. Applications to
vote by proxy on grounds of physical incapacity must be submitted by
5pm on Tuesday 27 April 2010. Where the physical incapacity occurred
after 5pm on 27 April 2010 emergency applications must reach the
electoral registration officer at the Town Hall, Bridge Street,
Peterborough, by 5pm on Thursday 6 May 2010.
