Accessibility at polling stations

Making your polling station more accessible

All of the polling stations in Wyre are accessible via floor level entry or ramps. There are also a number of things at the polling station to help you cast your vote, including a large print sample ballot paper, and a tactile voting device to help if you have a visual impairment.

If you want to, you can take your phone into the polling booth to use magnifier or text-to-speech apps, or the phone torch to improve lighting. When using your phone please don’t take any photos inside the polling station.

You can also ask polling station staff to help you, or you can bring someone with you to help (if they’re over 18 and eligible to vote in the election).

For more information about voting in person please visit the Electoral Commission website.
