What help is there for people with disabilities?
- Voters with print disabilities can apply for an accessible ballot that can be completed electronically, printed, and returned to your local clerk.
- All voters, including voters with disabilities, have access to a Voter Assist Terminal in all polling places. The Voter Assist Terminal allows the voter to mark their choices using the electronic interface and then print a ballot with those choices marked. The printed ballot is scanned into the tabulator machine in exactly the same fashion as all other ballots.

What if I have an emergency on Election Day?
You may request an emergency absent voter ballot after the deadline for regular absent voter ballots has passed, but before 4 PM on Election Day.
The emergency must have made it impossible for you to apply for a regular absent voter ballot. For more information about emergency absent voter ballots, contact your local clerk's office. (To find your clerk, enter your address at the very top of this page.)
What if I don't have an ID on election day?
- If you don't have your ID with you, you will be asked to sign a form to confirm your identity. Once you sign, the poll workers will check if you appear on the precinct's registration list. If you are on the list, you can still vote.
