Accessible Voting and Device Demonstration Workshop
On 24th February 2026, we are working with RNIB to hold an accessible voting and device demonstration workshop for local blind and partially sighted people.
Come along to share your past voting experiences, learn how to request reasonable adjustments and accessible voting solutions, find out what provision will be available for the next election, and try out some devices that could help you to vote independently and in secret.
The next scheduled Local Elections will take place in Wolverhampton on Thursday 7th May 2026 so this is a great opportunity to help Wolverhampton Council to improve accessibility for the next time you vote.
For more information or to book your place at the event, please contact Electoral Services:
