What do I do if I cannot travel to the Polling Station?
All local governments are required to make voting places as accessible as possible.
If you are unable to travel to a voting place due to illness, injury or physical disability, check with your local government to see if they offer mail in ballots.
If you can travel to a voting place, but find it difficult to get into the building or room where voting is taking place, you may request an election official to bring you a ballot.
This is called curbside voting.
If you are unable to mark your ballot, you may ask an election official, friend, or relative to help you.
If you need a translator you may bring someone to help you.
