Responsibilities
We are responsible for:
- producing the annual electoral register, the list of all Islington residents eligible to vote and for the monthly registration process that runs from 1 December to mid-August
- managing and organising all local and Parliamentary (General) elections and referendums held in the borough
- reviewing the constituency, ward and polling district boundaries in the borough
- publishing a notice every February that shows the number of local electors who must sign a petition (5% of the electorate) to trigger a referendum on changing the council constitution, for example to an elected Mayor.
February Notice
Each February we publish a notice which gives the number of local government electors who must sign a petition (5% of electorate) to trigger a referendum on changing the governance of the council to, for example, a directly elected Mayor.
