Require an accessible ballot? If you are blind or have low-vision and are unable to read standard print, you may request an accessible electronic ballot by completing a Voter Registration Application or through the online voter registration system.
1. Before voting, review both sides of the ballot. To vote, darken the boxes of your choice with a black or blue pen. If you make an error, contact your County Elections Division for a replacement ballot.
