VOTER ACCESSIBILITY

ACCESSIBLE VOTING OPTIONS

  • Vote absentee by mail
  • Vote absentee in person
  • Vote in person inside the polling place
  • Vote curbside

There is at least one voting machine accessible to voters with disabilities at each polling place. Voters with a disability should be able to vote in the same private and independent manner as a voter without a disability. Virginia polling places, including in-person absentee voting locations, are required to meet state and federal accessibility standards. You can find:

  • Accessible Parking places
  • Curb where needed
  • Signs showing an accessible entrance and route in building
  • Accessible voting booth with chair
  • Seating available for voters waiting to vote
  • Sufficient space for voters in wheelchairs
  • Notepads available to communicate in writing
  • Magnifiers for election material and the ballot

CURBSIDE VOTING AND OTHER ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE

  • If you require assistance reading or completing forms, ask an election official to provide help. You may also bring your own helper.
  • If you have a physical disability, help is available. Please ask an election officer for assistance you may need at any stage of the voting process.
  • If you are 65 or older, or you have a physical disability, you may vote on election day without leaving your vehicle. This is called curbside voting.
  • If you would like to use curbside voting, remember to bring a helper with you who can enter the polling place to ask for an election officer for curbside assistance.
