How our accessibility areas can help voters with disabilities and provide a private space for carrying out voter ID checks

All of our polling stations have a dedicated accessibility area for citizens who might need additional support to vote, or an area of privacy to carry out a voter ID check.

Speak to our Election staff when you arrive at your polling station. They can help you use the accessibility area or offer assistance.

Equipment available on request

We have a limited supply of audio voting devices, so we recommend that you request it before polling day.

If you make a request at your polling station on election day, you may have to wait if someone else is already using it.

Request accessibility equipment at a polling station. We will send you a confirmation as soon as we can.
