Disability-Related Voting Access
Voters with disabilities living on the Navajo Nation in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah have the right to accessible voting. Polling locations must be accessible to individuals with mobility, vision, hearing, and other disabilities. Accessible voting equipment should be available to allow voters with disabilities to cast their ballots privately and independently.
Voters may also have the right to:
- Receive assistance from a person of their choice (with limited exceptions).
- Access curbside voting options where available.
- Request reasonable accommodations from election officials.
- Obtain election materials in accessible formats when available.
If you experience barriers such as inaccessible polling places, inaccessible voting equipment, denial of assistance, or other disability-related obstacles to voting, help may be available.
The Native American Disability Law Center encourages all eligible voters to verify their voter registration, learn about their voting rights, and make a plan to vote. Every eligible voter deserves an equal opportunity to participate in the electoral process and have their voice heard.
