HELP is at hand for disabled voters in Droitwich Spa.

New regulations will mean people who are blind, partially sighted or disabled should find it easier to vote in the General Election and Worcestershire County Council election on June 7.

Wychavon District Council's elections officer, Stuart Hook, said: "For the first time, a Braille template will be provided at each polling station.

"Alternatively, anyone who is blind or disabled can request that a companion or the presiding officer marks their paper for them.

"Each station will be provided with a large scale version of the ballot paper to be displayed in the polling station for those who are partially sighted."
