Blind And Partially Sighted Voters (EDM1063)

Blind And Partially Sighted Voters

EDM number 1063 in 1993-94, proposed by Harry Barnes on 19/04/1994.

That this House warmly congratulates Camden Council for its innovative initiatives to help blind or partially sighted residents to cast their votes in person in the forthcoming local elections and beyond; welcomes, in particular, the introduction of a Braille template which will allow blind people to read the same information on candidates in each polling station throughout the borough as sighted residents; further welcomes the introduction of ballot papers with enlarged print for people with partial sight or poor vision; commends such initiatives to all councils which wish to ensure equal access to polling stations; and gives its support to the umbrella group, Full Franchise, in its endeavours to persuade the Government to do its upmost to boost voter registration levels and access to polling stations for disabled people.

This motion has been signed by a total of 72 MPs.
