Election notices

The Returning Officer must publish a Notice of Poll, which states the hours of polling, the number of councillors to be elected, who is standing in the election and who proposed and seconded their nomination.

The notice will also state where another election or poll is occurring in the same area such as elections to Sheffield City Council and a parish council.

This notice is often combined with the Situation of Polling Stations notice, which states the polling stations in each electoral area and which voters are entitled to vote at each station.
