If you live in the Bramley and Stanningley Ward, you might be selecting your councillor of choice at Bramley Baths.

While the voting area will be held in the dance studio, you could always take a dip in the pool afterwards.

The theatre

Interplay Theatre in Armley will be swapping the spotlight for the ballot boxes on Thursday, welcoming residents from the area to turn out as voters rather than an audience for the day.

A boating club

Residents in the Guiseley and Rawdon Ward may be headed to the Rawdon Model Boat Club to place their vote, which is certainly one of the more scenic polling stations in use tomorrow.

The local football club

Beeston locals may be more accustomed to heading to Beeston Juniors Football Club to watch their youngsters play football, but tomorrow the club will welcome a different clientele to its usual footy fans as it opens its doors to voters.

The local boozer

Public Houses may be the place to head to enjoy some downtime and a few drinks, but for residents in Alwoodley, Beeston and Rodley, their local boozer will serve a different purpose tomorrow.

But you can always treat yourself to a pint after casting your vote.

The cricket club

Horsforth, Methley, Yeadon and Calverley residents may be taking a trip to their local cricket club to have their say in tomorrow's election.

But will everyone be batting for the same team?
