Incapacitated voters will need to present themselves to the Chief Medical Officer at the Hamilton Health Centre on Victoria Street, Hamilton.
This includes those with physical disability needing assistance with voting and seniors who may need additional time and assistance to vote. Any voter who is scheduled for a medical procedure that will prevent them from being able to travel to the polling station on polling day may also apply to vote in advance.
