Visually impaired Carlisle voters welcome Julie Minns MP’s bill

John Atkinson, from Carlisle, is blind due to glaucoma and said he had used folds in the ballot paper as a guide to where to place his cross at last year’s general election.

He said he could not “guarantee” he had voted for the candidate he intended, but thought he had done.

Of Minns’ proposed new law, he said: “I think it will be a good thing, really, especially for myself – then I’ll be able to do it more independently.”

Susan Fox, from Brampton in the Carlisle constituency, needed help from her husband to vote last year and said the MP’s proposal was “excellent”.
