Elections and Voting
Accessible Voting
We aim to make all polling stations accessible to disabled voters, for example:
- we provide ramps where needed
- the Presiding Officer is available to help you
- a polling booth adapted for wheelchair and scooter users
- a friend or relative can be with you if you need help
- there are chairs for people who cannot stand for long periods
- you can tell the Presiding Officer if you need to use an app on your mobile phone to assist you in voting.
You can bring a companion with you to assist you when you vote.
Polling station staff can also provide aids to help blind or partially sighted voters:
- pencil grips
- large magnifiers
- tactle voting device
- large print versions of ballot paper(s)
Further information can be found on the vote.wales (opens in a new tab) platform.
Postal or Proxy voting application forms
Voters with a disability can have a postal or proxy vote. A postal vote will be sent to the electors address prior to polling day.
A proxy vote is where you nominate someone to vote on your behalf at your polling station.
Further guidance (opens in a new tab) on how to vote by post can be found on the Electoral Commission website.
