Any local voter can use any of the following:
Accessible Mail Ballot
Between October 7 and the close of the polls (8 p.m.) on Election Day, November 5, you can download an accessible ballot at sfelections.gov/ncvaccess. You can use a personal device such as a screen-reader, head-pointer, or sip and puff to mark your ballot. (You must return your ballot printout via mail or hand-delivery.)
Accessible Voting Sites
You can move around any local polling place in a wheelchair. You can also use a page magnifier, an easy-grip pen, a signature guide with braille, a voting chair, or a ballot-marking device. Using a ballot-marking device, you can select a format (touchscreen or audio), font, background color, and language for your ballot. You can also navigate through ballot contests using a braille keypad, headphones, or other device. To learn more about your assigned polling place, please use sfelections.gov/myvotinglocation.
Between October 7 and Election Day, you can also use any of these resources at the City Hall Voting Center.
Personal Voting Service
You can get a ballot delivered outside at any voting site. Call (415) 554-4375 or ask someone to go inside and request this service for you. An elections worker will bring your voting materials outside and return later to collect them.
You can ask another person for help marking your ballot. Your helper can be an elections worker but cannot be your employer or a union representative. Helpers can provide physical assistance but cannot make voting decisions.
If you are unable to leave your house or are in the hospital during the last week of the voting period, you can request ballot delivery or pickup. Contact us at (415) 554-4375 to request that an elections worker provide this service.
