🗳️ Despite recent changes to laws to improve accessible voting, guidance is still too vague to ensure people all over the country can enact their right to a secret vote, a charity has warned
“There is a palpable and growing sense of frustration and despair on this issue among blind and partially sighted people,” he said.
An amendment, backed by the RNIB, added a requirement to put new responsibilities on the Electoral Commission to specify in guidance for Returning Officers that they should be enabling disabled people to vote independently. It also recommended that Returning Officers consider providing audio devices and stresses they are “well placed to seek advice from disability groups and civil society organisations in their area on specific steps”.
“Instead of making voting easier for blind and disabled people, the government brought in legislation mandating people to have identification, which many disabled people don’t have. With no strategy for disabled people despite promising one in their 2019 manifesto, this is a government that delivers nothing for disabled people.”
