Workers at local Polling Place helping voters. They wear protective face masks. Voter is in a wheelchair.
As thousands of people across the country are preparing to vote on Nov. 5, casting the ballot can be a challenge for those living with disabilities.
Did you know that New Hampshire mandates all polling places to be accessible for those with disabilities?
What accessibility resources are available at the polling booth?
Every polling booth has an accessible voting system called “one4all.” The system allows voters to independently and privately mark a ballot.
A table computer is attached to a printer in a white tent and lets voters produce a marked ballot using an audio or enhanced visual interface.
The ballot is counted in the same manner as all other election-day outfits.
If a voter is unable to enter the polling place, an election official will assist the voter in casting their ballot from a vehicle parked curbside using the Absentee Voter procedure
Absentee voting can be a convenient option.
Absentee voting is a way for people to cast their vote without being physically present at the poll booth. To request an absentee ballot, find your local clerk here.
If you require assistance filling out your application, someone can assist you but they will need to sign a statement on the application form.
There are special accommodations for those with print disabilities
If you have a print disability you can register to vote here. The state also allows those with print disabilities to electronically receive and mark their ballots.
You can call the secretary of state’s office at 603-271-8241 or e-mail [email protected] for additional help.
Are you ready to vote? Make sure to check your registration status and make a plan to vote here.

Since day one, our goal here at Granite Post has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information.
