Voters With Disabilities FAQs

  • Where can voters with disabilities find voting information on the Secretary of State's website?

    1. The checklist that the New Hampshire Attorney General Office uses to inspect polling places on Election Day.

    2. An on-line video illustrates what steps must be taken to ensure accessibility at polling places. 

    Where are the instructions describing how to use the voting system for voters with disabilities?
    The State of New Hampshire Accessible Voting System booklet contains easy-to-follow instructions on how to operate the accessible voting system.  The system is a telephone interface.  Our experience is that voters with or without disabilities require no instruction before using the system.   A voter does not need to be disabled to use the equipment in a polling place.  All voters are encouraged to use the voting equipment and many find them useful for various reasons.
    Does the site say whether TDD (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf) or TTY (Tele TYpewriter - a device that uses text instead of voice to communicate via telephone lines) access is available?
    Yes
