 Basic Etiquette
Etiquette is the right word to use to describe the thoughtful, considerate
behavior that we expect to receive from others and give in return. Here is
what you can keep in mind!
For all PwDs and people with specific needs:
• Be patient and try to understand their questions
• Request them to repeat or write to make things clear
• Never tease or laugh at the person
• Do not assume disability by appearance, disability may be invisible
too
• Be ready to provide end to end accessibility
• A short person may need adjustment in height or positioning of
ballot unit
• Allow extra time for a person with low vision, psycho-social disability
or other high support needs to complete the tasks at polling booth
• For the first-time voters clearly explain in advance about the red light
against candidate buttons as they may not be able to hear the long
beep which indicates end of voting

o•
When supporting a voter with visual impairment:
Get the voters attention by speaking and touching the voters arm and ask
if s/he needs to be guided
• Give all directions/instructions verbally, including direction to the ballot
area
• Get acquainted with the Braille strip on the ballot unit and provide precise
instructions to the voter about the ballot unit, braille section and braille
candidate sheet/braille ballot sheet
• You may need to guide their fingers to the appropriate place for signing
• When supporting a voter with hearing impairment:
• Get the persons attention before speaking, face him/her and maintain
eye contact
• Speak slowly, use body language, gestures and facial expressions to

e communicate. Trywriting to communicate further

For a wheelchair user ensure:
• That s/he can access the polling booth, move and turn in it easily
• That the Ballot unit is easily accessible keeping in mind the height of the
wheelchair

How well do you understand disability?
Disability is actually experiencedwhen one's impairmentin bodysenses.or brain, in interaction
with the barriers in the environment, systems orpeople's attitude hinders one's full and effective
participation in society on an equal basis with others.

There are various types and

It is always better to assume competence degrees of disabilities including
in persons with disabilities .(PwDs) physical, sensory and neuro-
-_ _--_ _--_ _-_ - .. _-_ -_ _-_ ----_ - ---_ .. developmental disabilities.
There are more things that Therearealso temporary as well
as elderly disabilities. Disability
persons with disabilities can .:happen to anybody, at
CAN DO than what slhe CANNOT anytime, atany place.

People with disabilities are from all religions, ethnic backgrounds and socio-economic
stratas. They are around us in more numbersthan we can imagine.

LET US ENSURE THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE!

 ' ..

Here is how:
• By registering and voting yourself
• By inspiring others to register and vote
• By studying competing political parties,
individuals and their manifestos to stand by
issues close to your heart
Here is why:
• Since 2001, People with Disabilities have been included in the Census. (Many had to raise
voice THEN)
• Since 2014, active training of electoral staff on disabilities began (Many had to push this
agenda tirelessly THEN)
• In 2015, The Accessible India Campaign was launched (Many had to run extra miles to make
that happen)
• In 2016 RPwD (Rights for Persons with Disabilities) Act was enacted with improved features
(Many were roped in towards this milestone development THEN)

There is no reason why things would not take desirable steps NOW.
