Polling Places In Texas Must Be Accessible
State law requires that a polling place meet the following standards:
Some voters need assistance in order to vote. You are entitled to receive assistance if you:
You May Be Assisted By:
The person assisting you must read you the entire ballot, unless you ask to have only parts of the ballot read to you. The person assisting you is required to take an oath that they will not influence your decision and that they will prepare your ballot as you direct. If you choose to be assisted by election officials, a poll watcher or state inspector who is present may check your ballot to insure that it has been marked as you have directed. If you choose to be assisted by a person of your choice, then no one else may check your ballot. It Is Illegal For A Person Assisting You:
If you are unable to communicate with election officials at the polling place because you speak a language other than English, including sign language, you are entitled to help from an interpreter to interpret communication between you and the election officials. You may select any registered voter of your county to act as your interpreter. If you are unable to read the language in which the ballot is printed, you may select your interpreter to assist you by translating the ballot for you in the voting booth. Curbside VotingIf you cannot enter the polling place, a ballot may be brought to you in your car at the curb or entrance of the polling place and deposited in the ballot box for you after you have voted. If you bring someone with you, that person can select a ballot for you and deposit your voted ballot in the ballot box. If you need assistance in reading or marking your ballot, you can also use the assistance procedure described above.
