Wards and Constituencies

For voting purposes, boundaries of electoral areas are determined by the Local Government Boundary Commission and The Boundary Commission for Scotland.
This excludes from Community Councils which are determined by Moray Council. These boundaries determine the area which your representative represents.  

Local Government Boundaries

Moray has eight wards the boundaries for which are determined by the Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland. A map of these ward areas can be found by using the online boundary map tool or by downloading a map from their website. See links

• Moray ward maps (PDFs) (for election and from 4 May 2017) - Follow links on page to "Final Recommendations Maps pdfs" in the fourth paragraph

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 poll card which is sent to you prior to the election, as this may vary with the type of election being held.
