What help is there for people with disabilities?
- Voters with print disabilities can
apply for an accessible ballot
that can be completed electronically, printed, and returned to your local clerk.
- All voters, including voters with disabilities, have access to a
Voter Assist Terminal in all polling places.
The Voter Assist Terminal
allows the voter to mark their choices
using the electronic interface and then print a ballot with
those choices marked.
The printed ballot is scanned into the tabulator machine
in exactly the same fashion as all other ballots.
