All polling places must be accessible. If you require assistance to vote by reason of blindness, disability, or inability to write or to read the ballot, assistance may be given by a person of your choice. This person may accompany you into the voting booth. This can be a person of your choosing but cannot be:
- Your employer
- An agent of such employer
- An officer or agent of your union
- A candidate whose name appears on the ballot, unless they are a member of your immediate family
A disabled person may, at any time, request a paper ballot for electors with disabilities.
Voters who have difficulty standing may ask to move to the front of the line or ask poll workers to direct them to a chair.
You may also request a ballot be brought to you outside the polling location. You must show proper ID and must mark the ballot in front of officials, but not in a way that will violate your privacy.
For more information, you can utilize the American Association of People With Disabilities (AAPD) resource.
