We decide how many councillors an authority should have.
We review the electoral and boundary arrangements of councils to make sure they are fair. Our reviews include at least two rounds of public consultation before we make recommendations for change.
We are carrying out an electoral review of Worcestershire because it has been a long time since the last review and the number of electors per councillor varies a lot across the council.
