Every polling station in the Wealden District Council area has the following available:
- A device to enable blind or partially sighted voters to vote unaided
- At least one large-print version of the ballot paper displayed inside each station to assist partially sighted voters
- Any voter with physical disabilities who is unable to vote without assistance or who is unable to read may be assisted by the Presiding Officer at the polling station.
- Most polling stations in the Wealden area are wheelchair accessible. Where this is not possible the Presiding Officer can take the voters ballot paper to them outside the polling station allowing them to vote in private. The voter may also have a companion with them as well as the Presiding Officer.
