    Preparations are already underway to ensure Bradford is ready for the General Election on 8 June.

    Kersten England, Bradford Council’s Chief Executive and Acting Returning Officer, said: “I am confident that we will deliver a fair and robust election process so that the citizens of Bradford District are able to exercise their democratic right to vote.

    “We have started the process to identify around 240 polling stations across the district and appoint around 1,200 staff to ensure the 343,690 electors currently registered to vote in a Parliamentary election can cast their vote either in person or by post.”
