Assisting Voters with Physical Limitations or Impaired Mobility

For voters who are unable to enter the voting location due to age, a physical disability, or impaired mobility, an election official can attend to your vehicle with a ballot. This is commonly referred to as “curbside voting”. The elector will be required to sign the voting book and, in private, mark the ballot and place it in the secrecy sleeve provided. Another election official, or the individual who accompanied the elector, may be asked to return to the polling station with the election official to observe that the election official placed the ballot in the automated voting machine in a manner that upheld the secrecy of the ballot.

If you have difficulty marking a ballot due to physical disability or difficulties with reading or writing, an election official or a person accompanying you may assist. That person must make a solemn declaration that they will preserve the secrecy of the ballot, mark the ballot in accordance with your wishes, and not attempt to influence you as to how you should vote.
