Review History
This timeline shows the key stages of the review process:
Final report
Our recommendations for new electoral and boundary arrangements.
Effective date
New arrangements apply to elections from this date.
We review the electoral and boundary arrangements of councils to make sure they are fair. Our reviews include at least two rounds of public consultation before we make recommendations for change.
We have carried out an electoral review of Bedford because the number of electors per councillor varies a lot across the council.
