Westminster Event Focuses On Independent Voting For Visually Impaired People

Season 1, Episode 881,   Jul 16, 2021, 09:00 AM

The right to vote independently and in secrecy is enshrined in law, but for many blind and partially sighted people that simply isn't possible.
For many years now, UK sight loss charity, RNIB has been pushing for change to the out of date system and a judicial review agrees.
RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Mike Wordingham to hear more about the charity's Turned Out Report on voting and the Westminster event where MPs learned about the challenges and solutions.
