How do we identify accessible voting places?
All voting places are assessed for accessibility. We look for things like:
- ramps or handrails at the entrance
- any obstacles or uneven surfaces between the street and the building entrance
- availability of parking, such as disabled or free parking
- how close the venue is to public transport.
On the voting place map, accessible voting places are defined under three categories.
- Full accessibility: Independent access to and within this building.
- Partial accessibility: May have step, steep ramp etc. to enter the building.
- None: No accessible access to building.
