Accessible Voting

Overview

It’s important that everyone who is allowed to vote can register and vote in secret and without barriers.

The Elections Act 2022 made it clearer for disabled voters to understand what assistance is available and their voting rights.

If you do not wish to vote in person at a polling station, you can vote by post or by proxy. You need to apply in advance, and you don’t need to wait until the next election.
