We offer a range of support for electors to make voting more accessible.
Our polling stations have:
- Fully trained and friendly staff who would be happy to assist if needed
- Most venues are wheelchair accessible or have a ramp available
- A polling booth adapted for wheelchair users
- Large print versions of ballot papers
- Tactile voting devices to assist visually impaired voters to cast their vote
- Magnifiers
- Pencils with grips
- Badges identifying polling station staff
If you need support to complete your ballot paper you can take a carer, friend or relative to help you. They do not have to be eligible to vote and will not need to bring their photo ID. However, they will need to be over 18 years old.
If you would prefer not to attend your polling station in person and would like to set up an alternative method of voting please refer to our postal and proxy voting page.
