Voting if you're blind or partially sighted
All the candidates for any upcoming elections 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.
After marking your ballot paper, the polling station staff can guide you to the ballot box if you need them to. Ballot papers must be put into the ballot box for them to be counted.
