Wards and constituencies
Sandwell is divided into 24 wards each represented by three councillors.
Each ward is within a parliamentary constituency and we have four constituencies within the borough, each of which has a Member of Parliament.
You can view the maps of the wards and constituencies in Sandwell on the Ordnance Survey Election Maps website. We can also provide printed copies of maps, upon request, for 30p each. If you are interested, please email us at electoral_services@sandwell.gov.uk
Sandwell Council's Acting Returning Officer is only responsible for the administration of three of these constituencies as the Halesowen and Rowley constituency comes under the responsibility of the Acting Returning Officer for Dudley, based at Dudley Council.
The whole of the borough comes under the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner's area.
We are committed to providing a quality electoral service - to see what we provide and what you can expect from us, including our performance, please see our Customer Charter for Elections Services.
