Media Release: Proposed Voting Changes for Tasmanians with Disability

A new Bill in Parliament will provide alternative voting methods, like telephone voting, for those facing accessibility barriers.

This includes Tasmanians with vision impairment, physical dexterity difficulties, learning disability, brain injury, dementia, and literacy issues.

The Bill empowers the Electoral Commissioner to approve alternative voting procedures, ensuring independent and secret voting for people with disability.
