Fantastic! Mine was 566 - similar with windows and doors to yours.

Easy to #MyMaskMyVote outside.

😷If you’re masking to vote, you can help!

📸Take a photo outside your polling station and share it with #MyMaskMyVote

🌳You can also ask for ID checks outside.

Help us audit accessibility at the local elections. 🙏

Everyone deserves access to democracy.
For Clinically Vulnerable voters, that means clean air masking and acceptance of these needs.

You shouldn't have to risk your health or life to vote.

The Electoral Commission agrees.

For those who mask and are Clinically Vulnerable, but not disabled, you can also mask.

It is wrong to ask disabled people, "Do you really need that wheelchair / stick / hearing aid?"

🗳 Local elections are today!

You can help us to check how new guidance is actually working for masked voters and whether the ventilation has improved. Your experiences matter!

But we still need your help!

It is now out for public consultation.
We need as many people as possible to respond, so these protections stay in - and maybe go further (air filters?!).

3. 😷 IF YOU MASK, WE NEED TO CAPTURE YOUR EXPERIENCES

You don't need to be from a Clinically Vulnerable family to audit.

Also, please share a masked selfie on the day to celebrate acknowledgement of your rights using #MyMaskMyVote - we will repost them.

📢 BIG NEWS!!!

For the first time, the Electoral Commission has recognised the voting access needs of Clinically Vulnerable people - thanks to CVF!

But we’re not done. They are running a public consultation, and we need your help!

2. 👀 LOOK AROUND AS YOU ARRIVE

We need to check ventilation.

• Is the front door propped open?
• Are other doors / windows open?
• Any air filters?
• Mechanical ventilation running?

Take a mental note.

Your evidence drove these changes. 💪

Hopefully 2026 is the year polling stations start applying them!

🚨Andrea was DENIED her vote when new #VoterID laws clashed with her health need to wear a mask.

Her experience highlights one of the new barriers faced by Clinically Vulnerable people.

The Electoral Commission has now named Clinically Vulnerable people in their documentation - this a first outside of pandemic measures.

That means:
✅ Recognition
✅ Precedent
✅ HOPEFULLY a door open for wider inclusion and safety

1. 🌬️ BRING YOUR CO₂ MONITOR
- if you have one!

Take the indoor reading of CO₂ (in ppm) ideally at head height, 50cm away from people, leaving over 30 seconds to settle.

Remember the number... you need it later!

😷 Safer voter ID checks, Hampshire trial

➡️ Equality Impact Assessments (and the Equality Act) must be *urgently updated* to consider Clinically Vulnerable people, and others who mask, 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 the General Election.

This win didn’t come easily.

It is the result of years of organising, campaigning, and lived experience - led by Clinically Vulnerable Families and helped by *you*!

Together, we’ve changed the narrative. Now we’re changing policy.

In the UK they are stopping people who are wearing a mask from voting. It’s unacceptable to exclude high risk people from democracy.

Everyone entitled to vote should be able to do so without hindrance or serious risk to their health. Andrea had a heart transplant as a child. She is being denied the right to vote because she wears a mask to protect her health. If you can, please support her campaign.
