District councils to give residents a vote on shake-up of local government
A local poll of all electors on two proposals for the future of local government in Somerset – One Somerset and Stronger Somerset – is going ahead this month.
The poll, which will be independently run and verified by Civica Electoral Services, will take place from 18th May to 4th June.
Every elector will be issued with a ballot paper and invited to vote by post, with an online option.
The local poll was agreed by each of the four Somerset District Councils at a recent meeting.
The report considered at the meetings said holding a poll would “give residents a voice in the debate and help the Secretary of State in understanding and determining the level of support amongst residents for each of the options.”
