Local Councils have been working together to encourage electoral participation, particularly in under-represented groups. Part of this work has been to create videos to show what electors can expect at a polling station, and to hopefully make election day a more inclusive experience.
The first video is a ‘walk through a polling station’ video which is co-produced with adults with learning disabilities. Below are links to the English and Welsh version of the video.
· English version: Voting at a polling station (youtube.com)
· Welsh version: Pleidleisio mewn gorsaf bleidleisio (youtube.com)
The second deals with accessibility and the equipment available at the station.
· English version: Assistance with voting at a Polling Station for Disabled voters
· Welsh version: Cymorth i bleidleisio mewn gorsaf bleidleisio ar gyfer pleidleiswyr anabl
There are Police and Crime Commissioner Elections on 2nd May 2024, with a UK Parliamentary General Election due to take place at any time but not later than January 2025.
