Curbside Voting is available at all vote center locations.

Physically Unable to Enter Polling Place

If a voter is physically unable to enter the polling place, he or she may ask that an election officer bring a ballot to the entrance of the polling place or to a car parked at the curbside. After the voter marks the ballot, they will give it to the election officer, who will put it in the ballot box. Or, at the voter’s request, a companion may hand the voter a ballot and deposit it for him or her.

Law Requirement for Curbside Voting

The law requires that each polling place must designate a parking space for curbside voting. The space must be clearly marked with a sign that indicates that the space is reserved for curbside voting. The sign should display a telephone number that a voter may call or text to request assistance from an election officer. Some polling locations may provide a button or an intercom that a voter can use to request assistance. Generally speaking, you may vote curbside during the early voting period or on Election Day.

Físicamente incapaz de entrar al lugar de votación

Si un votante se encuentra físicamente incapacitado para ingresar al lugar de votación, puede solicitar que un funcionario electoral le lleve una boleta a la entrada del centro o a un automóvilestacionado en la cera. Una vez que el votante marque la boleta, deberá entregársela al funcionario electoral, quien procederá a ponerla en la urna. O bien, a pedido del votante, un acompañante puede entregarle una boleta y depositarla en su nombre.

La ley exige que cada lugar de votación designe un espacio de estacionamiento para la votación desde la acera. El espacio debe estar claramente marcado con un aviso que indique que el espacio está reservado para la votación desde la acera. El aviso debe mostrar un número de teléfono al que el votante pueda llamar o enviar un mensaje de texto para solicitar la asistencia de un funcionario electoral. Algunos lugares de votación pueden proporcionar un botón o un intercomunicador que un votante puede utilizar para solicitar asistencia. En términos generales, usted puede votar en la acera durante el período de votación anticipada o en el día de la elección.
