The consultation on Ballymena Electoral Office's future and that of five others here is LOADED against them staying open.
North Antrim MP Ian Paisley made the comment after meeting with Chief Electoral Officer Graham Shields.
Mr Paisley says Ballymena really needs to retain its Electoral Office:
Jury sworn in for Noah Donohoe inquest
Sharing of explicit AI images in Armagh school being investigated by police
Long-awaited inquest into death of Belfast schoolboy Noah Donohoe due to start
Murder investigation launched following death of man in Coleraine
Man arrested over threats to elected representatives
