They must give you:
- Information at the polling station about what assistance is available.
- The right to request assistance to mark the ballot paper.
- A tactile voting device so that you can vote in secret – if required.
- A large-print version of the ballot paper for reference – if required.
- Assistance if you are unable to gain access to the polling station.
