Are polling stations wheelchair accessible?
Wherever possible, polling stations are wheelchair accessible. In the few instances where polls are not wheelchair accessible, curb-side voting will be made available to voters who request it. Voters are also free to vote at Advance Polls, which Returning Officers have selected for wheelchair accessibility wherever possible. To check on the accessibility of your local poll, contact your Returning Officer. Returning Officer contact information can be found by calling Elections Saskatchewan (1-877-958-8683) or through the Elections Saskatchewan website.
Is there assistance at the poll for people physically unable to mark their ballot?
Yes. Any voter may ask for assistance from the Deputy Returning Officer in marking his or her ballot. Before assisting the voter, the Deputy Returning Officer will require the voter to take an oath or make a declaration.
Where do I vote if I live in a personal care home or personal care facility?
On Election Day, you will be able to vote in your personal care home or personal care facility. Elections Saskatchewan will establish polls in every personal care home and personal care facility in the province.
Is there assistance at the poll for people with vision impairment?
Yes. Each polling station is equipped with a magnifying glass and a template for visually-impaired voters. The Deputy Returning Officer can also assist voters in marking their ballots, if so requested. In accordance with The Election Act, 1996, blind voters who so choose may take a friend with them behind the voting screen to assist with marking the ballot; however, each friend can only assist one person during the election. Both the blind voter and the friend will be required to take an oath or make a declaration.
Is there assistance at the polls for people who do not understand English or who have a hearing impairment?
Yes. Voters who are unable to understand the English language for any reason (including hearing impairment) are entitled to be accompanied by a friend who may interpret for the voter and accompany the voter into the voting station in order to assist the voter in marking the ballot paper. A friend who is acting as an interpreter may assist more than one voter during the course of an election. In order to meet the needs of the community, the DeputyReturning Officer may also hire an interpreter to assist voters who do not understand English.
