Those needing the alternate access can park around the back of the building at 137 Kendal Street via Railway Lane between the Rogue Carriage Cafe and Cowra Guardian office.
Councillor Ruth Fagan said she had received a number of complaints and concerns from elderly residents in regards to the front access of the building, which has a number of stairs.
She encouraged those who need easy access to go down Railway Lane and park at the back of the building to pre-poll vote before Saturday’s election.
“A lot of elderly voters like to pre-poll vote to avoid the crowds on election day,” she said.
