Support for Blind and Partially Sighted Voters
At the Scottish Parliament election on Thursday 7th May 2026, polling places will have a range of equipment and support options available to support blind and visually impaired voters who wish to vote in person.
Spoken ballot papers are available to support you if you wish to use either of the two tactile voting aids which will be available in the polling place. One is a new cardboard ballot paper overlay which fits exactly over the ballot paper. The older plastic tactile voting device is available as an alternative. This must be fitted in place by polling staff.
This section provides text versions of the constituency and regional ballot papers for your area for use with audio apps or screen readers.
Please select from the list below which ballot paper you would like to hear. If you are not sure which constituency you are in, you can visit Voting and elections | Electoral Commission, select to receive content for Scotland, and enter your postcode, or call 01389 737 643 to speak to someone in the Election office.
If you would like to speak to someone in the Election Office about the support available to vote, about how to request a reasonable adjustment at a polling station or about anything else, please call at any time during office hours on 01389 737 643.
