poll plan / ward 6 · free workflow
Turn Local Election Dates Into an Action Plan — Free
Paste your ward's election dates and the plan counts back through each step, marking the ones already closed so the thing you can still do is the first thing on the list.
What this replaces
Election information gives dates and leaves you to work out the order. This counts back from polling day and marks the deadlines that have closed, so what remains is a short list of things you can still actually do.
Tool note. This runs entirely in your browser — no account, no upload, no paid API key. Google NotebookLM is named as the free source-grounded reading path for the material you paste; its published free-tier terms were checked on 2026-09-13 and can change.
The four passes
Collect the smallest useful input
Your ward's polling day plus any registration and postal vote dates.
Let the plan count back
Each step is dated with the slack remaining.
Ignore the closed steps
A deadline that has passed is information, not a task.
Confirm the dates with your council
Ward boundaries and polling places change; confirm before polling day.
Try it on the poll plan / ward 6
The board below runs in your browser. It opens with a worked sample so the result is visible before you paste anything; switch scenarios, edit the text, or reset to the sample.

first-load · sample values are illustrative, not verified facts
Everything you paste stays in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and no request leaves the page to generate the result; clearing site data removes anything saved locally. Because this topic can involve personal detail, delete names and identifiers you do not need before you paste.
What breaks, and what to do
Only polling day given
The plan still runs, but registration and postal deadlines are the ones that bite.
Ward not stated
Nothing here looks up your ward; find it on your council's site.
Photo ID requirements
Requirements vary by election; check what applies to this one.
Boundary — what this does not do
This page organizes what you paste into dated rows. It does not give legal advice, does not predict how any authority or court will rule, and files nothing on your behalf.
Confirm every deadline and filing format with the issuing authority's current instructions, the clerk's office, or a qualified adviser before relying on it.
