Broadland and South Norfolk

Verification Number

We are required by law to publish how many signatures of registered voters are required on a petition on whether we should change to a different form of governance, for example having a mayor.

Electors can petition the council to hold a referendum. The petition must be signed by at least 5% of the registered electors for the district. This is known as the verification number.

Further information for each council can be found below. The current verification number covers any petitions held up to 31 March 2025.

Voter ID Statistics

Voter ID statistics for the District and Parish/Town elections held on 04 May 2023 and the General Election held on 4 July 2024 are also available for each council.
