Polling cards have been delivered to those registered to vote – so voters are being urged to check the details to know exactly where to vote – and which constituency they are registered for.
There are just two changes to polling station locations within South Kesteven, but those living in the south of the district may find they are voting for an MP for the Rutland and Stamford Constituency or the South Holland and the Deepings Constituency.
To check the candidates for these neighbouring constituencies, which still fall within South Kesteven District, please check at www.rutland.gov.uk/elections-voting/general-election-2024 or www.sholland.gov.uk/GeneralElection
In the Grantham and Bourne Constituency, Claypole Primary School will be used for those normally voting in the Village Hall due to the hall not being available. Belton Lane Children's and Community Centre in Grantham takes over from Belton Lane Primary School in Grantham, although this is on the same site.
Some unusual polling stations are being called into action for the Grantham and Bourne. They are The Hare and Hounds pub in Haconby, the Fox and Hounds at Old Somerby, the Crown & Anchor in Welby, The Church of St James the Great in Aslackby, Grantham Tennis Club, Grantham and District Indoor Bowling Club and the Earlesfield Lane Scout Hall in Grantham.

You must be registered to vote to apply for a postal vote.”
