The accessibility of the electoral processes

Any person may exercise their right to vote actively, consciously, freely and voluntarily, regardless of how they communicate it and with the means of support they require (article 3.2 of the Organic Law on the General Electoral System).

The Administration must ensure that the right to equal opportunities of persons with disabilities is respected in regard to the access to polling places and stations and their non-discrimination (article 2 of the Regulation on the basic conditions for the participation of persons with disabilities in political life and electoral processes).

There are two aspects of the accessibility of electoral processes to be borne in mind: accessibility for persons who go to the polling place to vote and accessibility for persons designated as polling stations officers.
