It is the responsibility of Returning Officers to deliver training to polling station staff.The Commission’s Polling Station Handbook contains specific guidance for polling station staff on what support any person with a learning disability can request in order to be able to cast their vote.The Commission’s recent ‘Elections for Everyone’ report – which looks specifically at issues of access to elections for those with disabilities – contains a number of recommendations to ensure there are no barriers to any person with a learning disability being able to cast their vote.
