We want to ensure that every person is able to vote without facing barriers. To make our polling stations accessible for everyone, we offer a range of support listed below.

Wheelchair accessibility

Our polling stations are wheelchair accessible or have a ramp available. The stations also have polling booths adapted for wheelchair users to vote securely.

Anyone with a disability can bring a carer, friend or relative to the polling station to help you vote. The person helping must be aged 18 and over and will need to complete a form.

We have the following equipment in polling stations to help you cast your vote:
