Setting up signing places

You should take all necessary steps to ensure that signing places are laid out with the elector in mind. You can draw on your experience and previous plans for laying out polling stations, to ensure that equipment is laid out and notices are displayed appropriately. You can also refer to the polling station handbook for guidance on the layout of the signing station. Electors, including disabled electors, should be able to move through the signing process easily.

You will also need to identify a suitable place within the signing place where equipment and materials can be securely held when they are not in use.1
