The Victorian Electoral Commission will introduce low-sensory voting at this year's state election, in a move to make elections more accessible to neurodivergent voters.
Key Points
- As the second most populous state in Australia, Victoria will hold the state election on November 26 this year.
- The VEC will roll out a trial in the upcoming Nepean by-election on April 21
- Compared to public voting centres, these low sensory voting sites will have reduced sound, moderated lighting, subdued visuals and regulated crowd levels.
