Aids for people who are blind or visually impaired
- Tactile guiding strips on the floor so you can find the way to the registration desk and the voting booth.
- A special voting template (ballot marking device) has been created for voters who are blind or visually impaired. The voting template is available in the polling stations with extra aids in the voting booth. You place the ballot in the voting template. You move your fingers over the template to feel the list. Using a soundbox with headphones you hear the parties and candidates on the list. By feeling and counting, you can find the candidate you want to vote for. You can colour in the correct circle on the ballot through the holes in the template.
- Water bowls for guide dogs.
