The tactile ballot templates will be used for the first time in a General Election this Saturday, allowing people with sight loss to vote in secret.
The tactile template sticks onto the ballot paper and features:
- Clear and non-decorative lettering
- Large print
- Good colour contrast
- Raised up letters
- Braille
- The cut out sections has a black border in order to assist people to find where to mark their vote.
Please get in touch with your local constituencies to hear the order of list of candidates on the ballot paper.
