Ballot papers in accessible formats

At the Scottish Parliament election on 7th May 2026, polling places will have a range of equipment and support options available to blind and visually impaired voters who wish to vote in person.

Spoken ballot papers are available to support you if you wish to use either of the two tactile voting aids which will be available in the polling place. One is a new cardboard ballot paper overlay which fits exactly over the ballot paper. The older plastic tactile voting device is available as an alternative. This must be fitted in place by polling staff.

This page provides text versions of the regional and constituency ballot papers for your area, for use with audio apps or screen readers.
