Impaired vision

What if I have impaired vision and cannot see the ballot paper clearly?

All forms are available in a larger print version on request.

During an election, there are a number of provisions in place for people with disabilities. These include a device called a 'selector', which enables blind or partially sighted people to vote unaided, ramps allowing easy access to polling stations and provisions for voters who are unable to vote without assistance to be assisted by a companion. Alternatively, any blind or partially sighted voter can request assistance from the Presiding Officer on duty. You can also take a companion with you to assist you.
