i requested to vote by mail . I can't remember how big the font is, but you can always ask someone you trust to fill it out for you.

I voted in Texas, and had a great and very accessible experience! I was able to vote at an accessible voting machine, where all that needed to be done was plug in headphones and then it started speaking to me. It had like.. a click wheel thing? And as you spun the wheel, it would read out the different options, so I was able to do it efficiently, while also being able to exercise my privacy and rights. It was an incredibly empowering experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you want specific information about the voting regulations for the place you will be voting at, I thoroughly encourage you to call in and ask.

Hope you find some useful info!

California here.

very accessible and no problems whatsoever. I have voted in my precinct a number of times I sometimes do paper ballots but won’t be doing that anymore. The first couple of years when I voted I think.


You walk in, and stand in line, if you have mail in ballots bring it in to surrender it or you’d be voting in another category I forgot the term for it at the moment. They will register you and ask you for your info and you sign a paper. You walk over to this machine, they have headphones and disposable headphone covers. At least at mine. The guy sets up the machine, plug in your headphone. I tell him I can hear the speech now and you may have to press enter but otherwise up and down arrow and enter to select, left and right to go to the next and previous contests. And then enter to print at the end. Then you insert your ballot in this other slot or something like that.

My state (IL) allows vote by mail. I also have used computers to vote. The font is large and there is a headphone jack if you need it read to you. You can also request assistance at the voting site if needed. It will print a receipt of your votes to make sure it is recorded accurately but I find the receipt to be difficult to read without the magnifier on my phone.

I live in Indiana. My polling place is within walking distance, and I don’t have any accessibility issues, although this may will be the first time with my seeing eye dog Lily. The only trouble I’ve ever had is the election helpers being too helpful. And not respecting my privacy. My husband is perfectly willing to read the ballot to me and assist me in building, and I trust him 100%, but I take The privacy of the polling booth quite seriously and do not want to share that with him. The last time I voted, I had to have two judges assist, one from each party, which was fine. It was a primary, so very few people were on the ballot. I voted for a specific candidate, after having been read his or her name, and after pushing the button to finish my ballot, one of the judges literally hollered over the room she voted for X“.

I called the election board the next day. Having interacted with him before, I knew he was not doing it in a malicious attempt to influence the ballots, nor the vote, as my husband and I were the only voters in the room at that moment, but it was completely wrong. The woman I ended up speaking to was a palled, and said that she would make sure that people understood that under no circumstances should they ever reveal for whom a blind person votes. Or any person.Our next primaries in May, so we’ll see how it goes.

Welcome to the polls!

I’ve never had an issue. Here it’s a sort of touchscreen computer-ish thing and the first page has a button for large print.

I'm in Kentucky, I've never used our voting machines, because I'd rather use a paper ballot. I can use a (non-digital) magnifier if I want to. I also have the option of having any person I want assist me with voting - so I can ask for an official at the polling place to help me, or I can bring someone along to help me - my kid filled out my ballot with me last time.
