Accessible Voting Sites and Assistance

Federal and state laws require early voting locations and Election Day polling sites to be accessible. Find details about accessible voting equipment and receiving voting assistance at Accessible Voting Sites. 

Are you unable to enter the voting site? Curbside voting is available for eligible individuals. For more information, visit Curbside Voting. 

Accessible Absentee Voting for Blind and Visually Impaired Voters

If you are a blind or visually impaired voter, you may request, mark, and return an accessible absentee ballot online through the N.C. Absentee Ballot Portal. It is compatible with screen readers and allows for a digital or typed signature. Learn how it works at Accessible Absentee Voting.

Assistance for Facility Residents

If you live at a facility such as a hospital, clinic, or nursing home, find out how to receive assistance with mail-in voting and other services provided by a multipartisan assistance team (MAT) at Assistance for Voters in Care Facilities.
