Ballot marking devices are offered at all advance voting locations. The device is designed to provide privacy and accessibility to voters who are blind, vision impaired, or have a disability or condition that would make it difficult or impossible to mark a ballot independently in the usual way.
Voters who are visually impaired or blind will also have the option to use a Braille template or receive assistance at advance polls and on by-election day
