As a voter with a disability or illnesses or because of other reasons you can get assistance to vote.

The assistance may be tables that can be lowered or raised or a magnifying glass for people, who are vision impaired. The ballot paper can be read out loud in a sound proof room for people, who are vision impaired or blind, so others do not hear what vote is cast. Assistance will be provided by two people to ensure impartiality. Furthermore, you may cast your vote at another polling station in case of disability or impairment. For this, you need to apply for it eight days beforehand.
