Empowering Participation: An OT Guide to Voting

Voting is a vital civic right, but for many individuals—particularly those with disability or cognitive barriers—it can feel overwhelming or confusing. To support informed and confident participation in the upcoming federal election, we’ve developed An OT Guide to Voting.

This practical resource breaks down the voting process into simple, actionable steps. It includes:

• How to check enrolment and update details

• The different ways to vote (in-person, early, by mail)

• Tips for researching political parties

• Easy-to-read explanations of how to complete voting papers

• Links to accessible AEC resources and a practice voting tool

Casting ballot paper

This guide is ideal for clients, carers, support workers, or referrers looking to encourage civic inclusion and independence.

Whether someone is voting for the first time or needs a refresher, the guide provides clarity and reassurance.
