SUFRAGIO Y DISCAPACIDAD. NOTAS SOBRE EL RÉGIMEN DE VOTACIÓN DE LAS PERSONAS DISCAPACITADAS (1).

This paper provides a general view about how especially vulnerable people are able to vote nowadays in Spain. It begins with a brief overview of the general regime governing voting in Spain and how votes are emitted. It then examines the normative guidelines affecting the vote for the disabled in more specific detail: access for voters with special mobility needs (direct or by post); special procedures of direct voting for disabled people unable to vote unaided; special procedures enabling the blind to use using braille so they can vote directly; and the special procedure for remote voting by persons whose disablement prevents them from personally filing the corresponding application. Finally, by way of conclusion the paper adds some critical considerations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
