That's stupid, pathetic and sickening. I honestly thought there were braille papers available. That's how I imagined it. The way they actually do it requires complete trust from the blind person that they're not just marking a piece of spare paper or voting for someone else's choice of candidate. Not that I think there's much corruption goes on, but I doubt many people would find it acceptable if voting meant telling your vote to a stranger who said "Sure, I'll totally record your vote the way you just said".

That's stupid, pathetic and sickening. I honestly thought there were braille papers available. And there should be. #informativepostoftheyear, The Matthew. Sadly not. We've gone for postal vote for my partner this time for this very reason. Last time it was a real battle, those at the polling station refused to guide her to the booth or to let me guide her to the booth. It wasn't so much a fear of someone looking over her shoulder but a complete unwillingness to help at all. The whole experience left her humiliated and to this day she has no idea whether she cast a valid vote
