I appreciate the work that has been done. In terms of polling stations, I appreciate that one could have communities where there simply is not an accessible venue. In terms of count centres, the wording there is "to ensure, where practicable, that the place appointed for the counting of votes". I do not understand why the term "where practicable" would be included. I do not understand. Surely every county has accessible venues for counting votes. If venues are not accessible, they should not be used.
