Kentucky is required to have a voting machine in each polling place that allows anyone with a disability to cast a ballot free of outside assistance. Nevertheless, if you need assistance due to physical disability, blindness or an inability to read English, you may request voting assistance at the polls on Election Day. Physical disability and blindness are the only two reasons you may apply to the county board of elections for permanent voting assistance. You may receive assistance from someone of your choice or the two election officers at the polls. You may not be assisted by your employer, the employer’s agent, a union officer or agent of your union.
Note: VOTERS WHO DO NOT READ ENGLISH HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING AN INTERPRETER WITH THEM TO THE POLLING PLACE
