London Mayor
One Mayor is elected to represent London, so the London Borough of Enfield is part of the London electoral area.
Greater London Assembly
Eleven Members of the Greater London Assembly are elected from the votes cast across the whole of London, so for this part of the election, the London Borough of Enfield is part of the London electoral area.
However, the other fourteen Assembly Members are elected to represent constituencies, of which one is Enfield and Haringey. The Enfield Returning Officer is responsible for the administration of the election of the member for the Enfield and Haringey constituency, which comprises the areas of the London Borough of Enfield and the London Borough of Haringey.

Polling districts and polling places
The London Borough of Enfield is required to divide its area into polling districts and to designate polling places for each of those districts. When doing so, the council must seek to ensure that:
- all electors have such reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable; and
- the arrangements met the accessibility needs of all electors, including those of disabled persons, as are practicable
The council is required to undertake a review of all polling districts and polling places every 4 years, although in practice does so annually.

2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituencies
Final recommendations on Parliamentary Boundary Review
The Boundary Commission have now submitted their final reports to the Speaker of the House of Commons. On 28 June 2023, the Speaker of the House of Commons laid the boundary reports before Parliament.
To view the reports, visit Boundary Commission for England - 2023 Review.
The reports contain a description of the reviews, the final recommendations, and sets of maps to illustrate the existing boundaries and those proposed by the final recommendations. The representations made during the third consultation will be published at the same time.
After the Order in Council has been made (which is scheduled to be on 1 November 2023), the new constituencies will take effect at the next UK Parliamentary general election. This will have to be held no later than Tuesday 28 January 2025.
Any by-elections held in the meantime, must be held on the basis of the old (existing) constituencies.
Future reviews
The Parliamentary Constituencies Act 2020 provides that after the 2023 Review, the length of time between boundary reviews is extended from 5 to 8 years, making the next review 2031.
The respective boundary commissions will be due to report on the next review before 1 October 2031. That 2031 review will be based on electoral registers that are due to be published on or before 1 December 2028.

Polling districts and polling places review 2023
The last compulsory review took place in 2019. An additional interim review took place in 2021 following a ward boundary review.
A review must be carried out every 4 years. The next compulsory review must be completed between 1 October 2023 and 31 January 2025.
We carried out a review of our polling districts and polling places in readiness for the 2 May 2024 Greater London Authority Elections.
Following the public consultation, the final proposals for polling districts and polling places were approved by the General Purposes Committee on 25 October 2023. View the minutes from the meeting.

The next compulsory polling district and polling place review must be undertaken between October 2027 to January 2029.
Further information
Polling districts
A polling district is a geographical area created by the subdivision of a UK Parliamentary constituency. All wards within Enfield are divided into polling districts, which form the basis upon which the register of electors is produced.
Polling places
A polling place is the building or area in which polling stations will be selected by the (Acting) Returning Officer (the official in each constituency who conducts an election).
Polling stations
A polling station is the room or area within the polling place where voting takes place. Unlike polling districts which are fixed by the local authority, polling stations are chosen by the relevant Returning Officer for the election.
Taking part in the review
We welcome comments from electors, community and disability groups and any other interested parties.
The public consultation will launch on 2 October, and is due to close on 22 October 2023.
How we came up with the proposed scheme
The following information has been compiled to assist the Acting Returning Officer to produce the proposed scheme for polling districts and polling places:
- Population density
- Proposed areas of development, and the approximate number of properties and expected population numbers for those areas
- Road traffic maps detailing levels of congestion
- Public transport accessibility data
- Details of current polling places and an indication to the overall suitability for purpose
- Details of potential alternative buildings
- Ward profile information including levels of deprivation, and ethnicity and disability data
What happens after the consultation
All feedback will be considered by the Council General Purposes Committee.
Polling place changes
Your polling place may change. Please check the information on the map to see if this proposal suggests a change to your polling place.
Will the changes affect council services or school catchment areas?
The review will not affect your local services (for example bin collections) or school catchment areas. It is only concerned with polling districts and polling places.
Could your Member of Parliament change?
The review will not consider parliamentary constituencies, so your Member of Parliament will not change as part of this review.
The role of the Electoral Commission
The Commission does not have a role in the review process. However, it does play a role after the conclusion of the review.
Once we have published the results of the review, specified interested parties may make representations to the Commission to reconsider any polling districts and polling places. The Commission may ask us to make any alterations to the polling places that they think necessary. If the alterations are not made within 2 months, they may make the alterations themselves.
