If you have a disability you may ask for assistance from poll workers at your polling place. If you cannot enter the polling place because of physical disabilities, need help marking your ballot because of physical disabilities, have visual disabilities, or cannot read, you may be assisted by a person of your own choosing. In all these cases, the person who provides assistance to you must swear or affirm that your ballots will be marked in accordance with your wishes. If you are unable to vote inside the polling place, two precint officials will help you to vote outside the polling place.
In Oklahoma, every polling place is equipped with a voting device that has ATI capabilities. In other words, voters with disabilities may cast their ballot privately and independently using an audio ballot.
NOTE:
A new law goes into effect in 2023 that will allow visually impaired voters the opportunity to request the electronic delivery of an absentee ballot.
For more information, you can utilize your state’s resource and the American Association of People With Disabilities (AAPD) resource.
