Accessible Voting

 Accessible Voting Options
Vote by Mail
For the 2022 Election, all eligible voters will be able to request to vote by mail ballot.

Accessible Ballot Marking Device at City Hall Advance Voting Opportunities
An accessible ballot-marking device is available at Richmond City Hall on advance voting dates (October 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8). This option will allow you to mark your ballot independently by using descriptive audio, touch screen, Braille, rocker paddle device, and sip and puff device.

• Request to have curb-side voting at the voting place. Please call the Elections Office at 604-276-4100 once you arrive at the voting place.
• Bring a family member to assist you with reading or marking your ballot at the voting booth. They must make a solemn declaration to faithfully and impartially assist you.

We strive to ensure that voting locations are accessible for people who use wheelchairs, walkers and mobility scooters; however, some locations are not fully accessible. We will ensure curb-side voting is well signed at locations that are not fully accessible.

Translation   
If you need help with translation, you may:

• Bring a family member from your household who will translate for you when you vote. They must make a solemn declaration to faithfully and impartially assist you.
• Use the translated voting instructions at your voting place, which will be provided in French, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Punjabi. 

Ballots are only available in English.
