New wards and number of councillors

Following a review, which happens every ten years, the Local Government Boundary Commission has made some changes in Milton Keynes:

The number of councillors has increased from 57 to 60
Wards have increased from 19 to 21
There are 19 three‑councillor wards, one two‑councillor ward (New Bradwell) and one single‑councillor ward (Hanslope)

Your recent poll card will tell you which ward you are now in and where you will vote.

Voting Hub at Midsummer Place

You can also choose to vote at the Voting Hub in Midsummer Place (MK9 3GB), across Waterstones, which is handy if you’re in the city centre on election day – but remember, you can vote either at the Hub or your usual polling station, not both.

This is part of a trial for this election, run by Government to test new ways of making voting more convenient. Checks will be in place to ensure that no one can vote more than once.
