All the Greater Manchester schools being used as polling stations at 2024 General Election
On Thursday (July 4), voters will head out to put a cross next to the name of the person they want to become their next MP.
The people of Greater Manchester will make that decision at their local polling station. A number of locations dotted across the city-region will be converted for the day, usually church halls or community spaces in the heart of constituencies.
In many places, schools act as polling stations and give up space so that people can head in to cast their votes.
