Accessible voting and reasonable adjustments
Every voter should have the right to vote independently and in secret. However, we know that disabled people face barriers to voting. Under the Elections Act 2022, individuals have the right to request a reasonable adjustment at a polling station in advance of an election.
Learn about accessibility options and reasonable adjustments for voters with a disability by visiting our accessible voting webpage, or by phoning our helpline on 020 7926 2254.
Vote accessibly and independently on 7 May
A new audio voting device will be available on request at Lambeth’s Borough Council Elections on Thursday 7 May.
It is designed to help voters who are blind, partially sighted or have other accessibility needs to vote independently and in secret.
The device reads your ballot paper aloud, is fully tactile and has raised buttons for easy navigation.
You can ask to use the device:
- to help you complete your postal ballot paper before polling day, or
- to vote at your allocated polling station on polling day.
Contact us now to request use of the audio voting device by:
- phoning our helpline on 020 7926 2254
- completing our online contact form
- visiting us at Lambeth Town Hall, 1 Brixton Hill, London, SW2 1RW (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm)
