| Community Council | Community Council Wards | Community Councillor |
| Local Government | Multi-member Wards | Councillor |
| Scottish Parliament | Constituencies and Region | MSP |
| UK Westminister Parliament | Constituency | MP |
| European Parliament | Region | MEP |
Moray has eight wards the boundaries for which are determined by the Local Government Boundary Commission (LGBC). Downloadable maps of the eight multi member wards in Moray can be found on the LGBC website.
Within each ward, areas are split into Polling Districts which is areas assigned to a specific Polling Place such as your local hall or school. Information about where you will vote at each election is published in a public notice prior to the election, and printed on your pollcard which is sent to you prior to the election, as this may vary with the type of election being held.
