Accessible Voting in Missouri
In Missouri, there are different options to make voting accessible for everyone:
- Curbside voting: Voters with limited mobility may ask someone to go into the polling place for them to request a ballot be brought to them.
- Accessible Polling Places: Voters with physical disabilities may request a different polling place if their assigned one is not accessible.
- Accessible Voting Systems: "Every polling place must have an accessible voting system for individuals with disabilities including audiovisual accessibility. Accessible systems include an audio ballot to make your selections or the ability to enlarge text so that you can read the on-screen ballot with ease."
- Permanent Absentee Voting: "If you have a permanent physical disability, you may request to be placed on a designated list so that your local election authority can automatically mail an absentee ballot application directly to you prior to each election. You will need to make this request directly to your local election authority who will send you further information."
