eligible to vote and has already been working with the RNIB to improve the voting
process for voters with sight loss.</p><p>It is important for security purposes that
a physical poll card is sent to every elector at the property where they are registered,
but we have already considered how electoral information might additionally be made
available in more accessible format for those who request it.</p><p>Returning Officers
already publish details of candidates in the order they will appear on the ballot
paper online. We will work with partners in the electoral sector to ensure this information
is accessible.</p><p>The Government will continue to work with the RNIB, the Electoral
Commission and other relevant organisations to make blind and partially sighted voters
aware of the support available to them at the polling station, and to consider what
additional support could be provided to help blind and partially sighted people to
vote including by post.</p><p> </p>
