Services for Voters with Disabilities

The Registrar of Voters Office provides a number of services to
voters with disabilities including:
- A TDD for the hearing impaired (707-565-6888)
- State propositions and local measures (including arguments and analyses)
on tape, for the vision impaired
- Information on Polling Place Accessibility. Each Polling Place is
surveyed to determine accessibility. Whether or not your Polling Place
is accessible is indicated in the upper right hand corner of the address
label on your Sample Ballot by either the word "YES" or the
word "NO". If your Polling Place is not accessible you may
contact the Registrar of Voters Office for information regarding your
Polling Place's accessibility disqualification, or you may choose to
take advantage of either curbside voting or absentee voting
- Large type instructions (posted) and magnification pages (available
on request) at the polls, for the vision impaired
- At least one accessible voting booth at each Polling Place. This
booth may be used by voters using wheelchairs, or any voter who has
difficulty standing to mark his or her ballot may vote at this booth
by pulling a chair up to the booth
- An adapter at each Polling Place to make the marking pen easier to
grasp
- Assistance marking your Official Ballot. You may have up to two people
of your choice assist you; however, you may not be assisted by your
employer, union representative nor an agent of your employer or union
representative
- Curbside voting. If your Polling Place is not accessible you may
vote in any area as close to the polling place as possible. Someone
must alert the Precinct Officers for you, and they will bring the voting
materials to you
- Permanent Absent Voter Status. Voters with certain specific disabilities
and their caregivers are entitled to
Permanent Absent Voter Status. Please see the category entitled
Permanent Absent Voter Information for details
