What support is available?

All voters have the right to vote independently and in secret. Voting in local and general elections should be accessible however you choose to vote.

A range of support is on offer for disabled voters. Take a look at the sections below to find out more about registering to vote, how we make our polling stations accessible, and the different ways that you can vote. We have also included a list of resources which can be used to provide further information about voting and elections if you are supporting a voter with a disability.

You can apply to register to vote online by visiting the Register to Vote website. An easy to read, step by step guide to using this service is available to download from the UK Government website.

The Electoral Commission has produced a large print application form for partially sighted voters which is available to download. Either email or post this back to us using the contact details below.

Guides containing information on how to register and how to apply for postal or proxy voting are also available from the Electoral Commission in British Sign Language (BSL), easy read and Braille. You can access these resources by contacting the Electoral Commission on 0800 3 280 280.

If you need assistance or have any questions about the registration process please contact the Elections team using the contact details at the bottom of the page.
