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 users
• a friend or relative can be with you if you need help
• there are chairs for people who cannot stand for long periods

 

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)

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.
