West Berkshire Council's chief executive will be the returning officer for two of the Berkshire seats at the general election in July.
Nigel Lynn will oversee the count for the Newbury and the Reading West and Mid Berkshire seats.
"A parliamentary election is something we knew was coming and we have been preparing for it for some time,” he said. “Following last week's announcement we will be putting this plan into action ready to welcome residents to polling stations on Thursday, July 4.
"With only a short time until the election it's important that residents are ready for it.
“I would encourage everyone to register to vote if they have not already done so and to consider if they need a postal or proxy vote.
“Happening during the summer holiday period, it may be people will be away so please don't leave it to the last minute if you need to arrange to vote in advance or arranging for someone to do so on your behalf."
For the first time, residents will be electing Members of Parliament for a revamped Newbury constituency and a newly created Reading West and Mid Berkshire.
Since the general election in 2019, the two constituencies have been created as part of a national boundary review to rebalance the number of electors in each area.
The two constituencies span West Berkshire along with the wards of Kentwood, Norcot and Tilehurst within the Reading Borough Council area.
West Berkshire Council will be administering the elections for both constituencies.
Polling stations will be open from 7am to 10pm on Thursday, July 4.
