Voters arrive at St. Columba s church polling station in Darlington to cast their vote in the EU referendum. Picture by Stuart Boulton.. PLANS have been laid out to enable mayoral and police commissioner elections to take place in May after numerous complications arose over voting due to the pandemic. While a host of question marks continues to hang over elections which were postponed from last May, such as whether traditional electioneering will be banned, Darlington Borough Council has moved to establish certainty over the 52 polling stations needed in the area. Alongside the Tees Valley Mayor and Durham Police and Crime Commissioner elections, some residents will be asked to help shape the borough council’s political make-up in the first test at the polls for the Conservative group which swept to victory almost two years ago.
