This accessibility statement applies to content published on the campaign.gov.uk domain. It does not apply to content on service.gov.uk subdomains (for example, www.registertovote.service.gov.uk) or on www.gov.uk
This website is run by the Government Digital Service. It is designed to be used by as many people as possible. The text should be clear and simple to understand. You should be able to:

How accessible this website is
Parts of this website are not fully accessible. For example:
- Some pages use long, complex sentences. They are not written in plain English.
- Some pages use visual maps, along with a list of location names. Not all names describe clearly where the location is. For example, Freeport East is on the eastern coast of England – but so are several other Freeports.

We are working with each Freeport to get a description of its location, and will add this text to the website. This is expected to be in place by summer of 2024.
