The Easy Read Center has produced an easy-read information booklet about the 2026 municipal elections.

The goal of the booklet is to ensure that everyone has access to clear information about their democratic rights. Easy read is not simply a simplification — it is an important accessibility tool. It ensures that people with reading or comprehension difficulties have the same access to information as everyone else.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) emphasizes the right of disabled people to receive information in a format they can understand. Easy read promotes equal opportunity and independence for everyone.

It is important that people have the opportunity to learn about the elections through easy-read materials that are accessible to all.

The booklet covers:

  • What municipal elections are.
  • How to vote, step by step.
  • Available assistance at polling stations.
