Presidential & Parliamentary Elections – 2024: Don’t Let Your Disability Disenfranchise You
The 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections are an opportunity for every citizen to shape the nation’s future, including persons with disabilities. Democracy thrives when everyone participates, and your voice matters just as much as anyone else’s. Do not let physical, sensory, or other challenges keep you from exercising your fundamental right to vote. The electoral system has measures in place to ensure accessibility, such as ramps, tactile ballots, and trained polling officials ready to assist.
To make your voting experience seamless, prepare in advance. Confirm that your polling station is accessible and inquire about available assistive services if needed. You can also contact election authorities for specific accommodations to ensure your comfort and inclusion. On Election Day, go with confidence, knowing that provisions have been made to enable you to cast your vote independently and privately, or with assistance if necessary.
Disability should never be a reason to feel excluded from the democratic process. By participating, you not only assert your rights but also inspire others to see the importance of inclusivity in building a stronger, more representative nation. Get involved, vote with pride, and let your voice contribute to the future of our democracy.
