This bill would require that training materials used by the program of instruction for election judges include oral and written instruction in the various methods an election judge may use to assist or accommodate elderly and disabled voters in voting; and establishing requirements for the development and placement of signage that states the specific methods election judges may use to assist or accommodate elderly and disabled voters in voting at a specific polling place.
We appreciate the intention of this bill. We will be talking to the Delegate's staff to understand how they believe these changes would address issues people faced at the polls during the last election, and why they believe this is the best solution to address barriers to voting access.
