Accessible Elections

The Municipal Elections Act, 1996 (MEA) requires the Clerk to have regard for the needs of electors and candidates with disabilities and to ensure that persons with disabilities have an equal opportunity to fully participate in the voting process:

  1. Electors and candidates with disabilities have full and equal access to all election information and services.
  2. Persons with disabilities have full access to voting places.
  3. Persons with disabilities are able to independently and privately mark their ballot and have access to alternative methods of voting assistance.

The 2022 Municipal Election Accessibility Plan provides an overview of election initiatives aimed at improving accessibility for voters and candidates with disabilities.

Accessible Voting Method

On Election Day, an AutoMark assist terminal will be available to persons with disabilities to aid in the voting process. This unit is a paper ballot-marking technology that allows voters with disabilities and other special needs to mark their ballot privately and independently. The machine allows the voter to mark his/her ballot with the following options:

  • Touch Screen, tactile buttons with Braille that can also be changed to a high contrast and has a zoom feature
  • Sip/puff tube
  • Rocker paddle
  • Listening to the choices through headphones

  • Customer Service
  • Transportation
  • Information and Communication
  • Built Environment
  • Employment
