Ordinary polls are those open on polling day. They can be stationary (in a given location) or mobile. The advance polls are open on the 10th, 9th, 8th and 7th days before polling day. For the March 4, 2024, by-election, long-term care and retirement facilities and other care homes were served as single stand-alone polls. They are reported under the term “mobile poll” which was previously used to indicate the same facilities grouped together. In some facilities where it was not feasible to hold a poll, electors voted using Special Voting Rules.
