How it works

  1. Find your ward

    Your postcode shows your ward, your three councillors and what the figures say about where you live.

  2. Pick your top three

    Vote for the issues you most want sorted. Everyone gets one vote, and no one can see how you voted.

  3. We take it to the people who decide

    Each ward's results go to its councillors and to the next community assembly, so the people who decide know what matters to you.

From the Guildhall to Southsea seafront

Just over 208,000 people lived in Portsmouth's 14 wards at the 2021 Census, most of them on Portsea Island. Whichever corner of the city is yours, you can have a say in what changes there.
