Are there any special arrangements for voters with disabilities?

Yes, each polling station will have one booth that is wider and has a lower writing shelf designed for voters using a wheelchair. If a polling station has alternative access for wheelchair users this will be signposted.

For voters with sight difficulties there is a large copy of the ballot paper available to read, although the ballot paper that is issued will be the same for everyone. A device with both raised and braille numbers which can be attached to the ballot paper is also available at each polling station.

The Presiding Officer or a voter's companion can assist a voter with disabilities, anyone who helps a voter in this way will be required to complete a declaration at the polling station.

Alternatively you can apply for a postal vote or appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf.
