May I receive assistance in voting?

October 17, 2024

No person is allowed to receive assistance in voting unless his or her registration record indicates the need for assistance or the voter completes and signs a Declaration of the Need for Assistance at the polling place prior to entering the voting booth. A voter may select anyone to assist them except the following individuals: the judge of elections; the voter’s employer or agent of that employer; or an officer or agent of the voter’s union. Each polling place will have a magnifying glass with bifocal lens available to assist those voters who may have trouble reading their ballot. A voter may also use the ExpressVote ADA Unit to mark his or her ballot.
