WECA Mayor voting

Disabled voters or individuals with accessibility needs may need extra support or advice when voting by post or at their local polling station. If you or someone you know needs help, there is support available, find out more below.

Bath & North East Somerset Council is committed to ensuring that all our voters have a positive voting experience. You may need assistance or advice when voting by post or at a polling station, if you have a disability or accessibility need.

Voting in person

Wherever possible, our polling stations are wheelchair accessible and will have a designated and signposted wheelchair entrance. In cases where this is not possible, we can make arrangements to ensure that you are able to vote at your local polling station.

There are other measures we can provide if you need them, such as the following:

  • Adapted polling booths
  • Large print versions of ballot papers
  • Tactile voting devices (for blind or partially sighted voters)
  • Pencils with grips
  • Assistance from the Presiding Officer

You can choose anyone aged over 18 to accompany you in the polling station to help you vote.
