Voting if you're blind or partially sighted

All the candidates for the election of Kent County Councillors on Thursday 1 May for the Canterbury county divisions are on this page if you want to use a tactile voting device at the polling station.

You can also use a mobile app - such as Seeing AI - or a video magnifier.

How the tactile voting device works

Each row of the tactile voting device has a flap which can be lifted. Underneath the flap is the box where you need to mark the ballot paper for voting.

The row numbers used in each list of candidates below match the braille rows on the tactile voting device. Polling station staff can place the device on the ballot paper for you.

For this election, you can vote for one candidate only in the county division you live in by putting a cross in the box next to your choice.
