Voting by disabled people: how?

For those traveling to the polling station (ballot box)

Electors receive certain ballots at their homes prior to the election. This allows them to prepare their report at home as needed.

The polling stations are designed to be accessible to disabled people (buildings with ground-level access, installation of inclined planes...).

The president of the polling station must also ensure that all electoral operations are accessible (unobstructed access to the voting booth, height of the curtains but also tables or tablets in the voting booth, access to the ballot box and to the leaves of the polling station...). At least one voting booth must be accessible to people in wheelchairs.

Persons with certain disabilities who need physical assistance may be accompanied by a voter of their choice. The latter may himself vote at a polling station, or another commune. The accompanying voter may also enter the voting booth and insert the envelope into the ballot box in place of the accompanying voter. Finally, if the disabled person cannot sign the list himself, the accompanying elector signs in his place and adds the handwritten mention:

the elector cannot sign himself

..

For persons not traveling to the polling station (proxy voting)

Persons who cannot go to the polling station on election day, may proxy voting ..

They can submit their form of proxy in a public place defined by order of the prefect (and no longer only in a police station, gendarmerie, court, embassy or French consulate abroad). For the June 28 election, people who cannot travel because of the Covid-19 epidemic can ask their police station or gendarmerie to come to their home to establish their power of attorney. They indicate the reason for their inability to travel without having to provide proof.
