All polling places must be accessible to voters with disabilities. The WEC will be conducting polling place reviews at the Spring Election and Presidential Preference Vote. If you have questions, watch the What to Expect During a Polling Place Review webinar on ElectEd or on Vimeo here: What to Expect During a Polling Place Review Webinar.
To help with setting up your polling place, you can reference the Polling Place Set-Up Guide. If you aren’t sure whether your polling place is accessible, use the Election Day Accessibility Checklist. This is a good resource to use when you’re setting up your polling place and on election day before polls open. If you identify any problems, check the Quick-Fix Guide to see if there is an easy solution.
Voters with disabilities can receive assistance with several tasks such as:
1. Assistance signing the Voter Registration Application
2. Assistance signing the Request for an Absentee Ballot
3. Assistance signing the Absentee Certificate Envelope
4. Assistance marking a ballot
5. Assistance returning an absentee ballot
6. Curbside voting
For more detailed information on these kinds of assistance, see the Assistance and Accommodations webinar in ElectEd and on Vimeo here: Assistance and Accommodations Webinar.
