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.
Consultation on revised proposals
We may consult on revisions to our original proposals.
Final report
Our recommendations for new electoral and boundary arrangements.
Making our recommendation into law
We ask Parliament to approve our recommendations.
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 are carrying out an electoral review of Staffordshire because it has been a long time since the last review.
