Accessibility for Voters with Disabilities

Voting accessibility is about making sure voters with disabilities can register, reach the polls, mark a ballot, and have it counted privately and independently. It covers physical access to polling places, accessible voting equipment, help from another person, and alternatives such as voting by mail. Federal disability and voting laws, state and local election offices, and advocacy groups all play a part.

People usually ask what accommodations are available, how to get help at a polling place, what to do when a site or machine cannot be used, and what legal protections apply to voters with disabilities.
