Polling District
In Scotland, a polling district is a geographical area created by the sub-division of an electoral ward.

In Falkirk, there are currently 9 electoral wards (Bo'ness & Blackness, Grangemouth, Denny & Banknock, Carse, Kinnaird & Tryst, Bonnybridge & Larbert, Falkirk North, Falkirk South, Lower Braes, Upper Braes) with each electoral ward is divided into several polling districts.
Polling Place
A polling place is the building or area within a polling district where you will go to vote. A polling place must be designated so that it is within easy reach of and accessible to all electors.
Polling Station
A polling station is the room or space in the building where voting takes place.
