Assistance at the Polls

Voters unable to complete their ballot may bring one or two persons with them into the voting booth to assist them, or they may ask pollworkers to provide assistance. You may not be assisted by your employer, union representative nor an agent of your employer or union representative.

Voters with Disabilities

To determine whether your polling place is accessible turn to the back cover of your sample ballot.

Curbside Voting

If your Polling Place is not accessible you may vote in any area as close to the polling place as possible. Someone must alert the Precinct Officers for you, and they will bring the voting materials to you.

Tools

Every polling place has large print instructions on how to vote, and an easy grip pin adapters to make the marking pens for signing the roster and marking the ballot easier to grasp.

Permanent Absent Voter Status

Any voter may apply for permanent absent voter status.
