There are special arrangements to assist electors with certain disabilities to exercise their voting rights more easily. This leaflet details these arrangements, which can be summarized as follows:

1)       voting at an alternative polling station if your local station is inaccessible to you;

2)       assistance in voting at the polling station by a companion or the presiding officer;

3)       voting at home by electors who opt for inclusion on the special voters list.

These facilities are available to you if you have a physical disability or illness, a visual impairment or if you have reading or writing difficulties .
