Election administration is offering different services to voters with disabilities for the elections held on 8th of October. For voters with physical disabilities, there will be lower booths on polling stations; for blind voters a ballot frame will be provided to help them to fill in the ballot, while for visually impaired voters - a magnifying sheet will be provided. A poster describing voting process will be displayed in polling stations for deaf voters or voters with hearing impairment. The CEC’s website is accessible for blind voters; information about candidates and elections is accessible in audio format. Every awareness raising/informative video is supported with sign language interpretation. More than 47 000 persons - precinct election commission members have been trained on how to assist voters with disabilities.
