Review History
This timeline shows the key stages of the review process:
Councillor numbers
We decide how many councillors an authority should have.
Initial consultation
We ask local people and organisations to tell us about their communities.
Consultation on proposals
We consult with local people and organisations to help us refine our proposals.
Final report
Our recommendations for new electoral and boundary arrangements.
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.
The Commission is carrying out an electoral review of North West Leicestershire to deliver electoral equality for voters across the district in local elections. At present, some district councillors represent many more, or many fewer, electors than their colleagues elsewhere in the district. The review aims to correct those imbalances.
