Voting if you have a disability

We offer a range of support to voters with a disability, including voters with a learning disability.

All of our polling stations offer:

• Audio ballot papers
• Magnifiers
• Tactile voting devices
• Pencil grips
• Chairs for those unable to stand for long periods
• wheelchair accessibility (providing ramps where required)
• a polling booth adapted for wheelchair users
• large print versions of ballot papers, together with aids to enable blind voters to mark ballot papers without help

If you're a disabled voter and you need support to complete a ballot paper on your own, you can take a relative or friend to the polling station to help you.

The presiding officer at the polling station can also help fill in your ballot paper.

Remember, you can vote without visiting a polling station.

You can vote by post or vote by proxy
