- Enhance the government’s understanding of the experiences of disabled people in registering to vote and casting their vote
- Help identify if current mechanisms to support disabled people to participate in the democratic process are sufficient; and
- Identify examples of good practice provided by Electoral Service Teams to disabled people at elections.
