Request for Voting Accessibility Accommodations

A Request for Voting Accessibility Accommodations is a form submitted by voters with disabilities or other special needs to request assistance or modifications that will enable them to cast their ballot independently and privately. The request may include accommodations such as wheelchair-accessible voting booths, Braille or large-print ballots, audio voting equipment, or the assistance of a person of their choice. Election officials review the request and make reasonable efforts to provide the necessary accommodations at the polling place. In some cases, alternative voting methods, such as curbside voting or absentee voting, may be offered to ensure that all eligible voters can participate in the election. Providing accessible voting accommodations is essential for promoting inclusivity and equal access to the democratic process.
