Voters who are physically unable to vote in person at the polls on Election Day and unable to vote in person at the registrar’s office may be eligible for the special program for physically handicapped voters. Call your parish registrar of voters office and ask for more details to see if you are eligible. Disabled voters may go to the front of the line at their polling place.
Proof of disability is required to be filed with the Registrar of Voters either in person or through the mail. Proof of disability include:
- A complete physicians form
- Copy of a current mobility impaired ID card issued by the office of motor vehicles
- Copy of current documentation showing eligibility for disability benefits from a government agency
For more information, you can utilize the American Association of People With Disabilities (AAPD) resource.
