These units have been designed specially to assist voters with disabilities. Each unit has optional headphones, tactile switches, and a port for a sip-n-puff device.
Accessible Voting Options
Accessible Voting Units
Accessible Voting Units (AVU) are available beginning 20 days before every election. A easy way to remember is ballots are mailed 20 days before every election so if you have received your ballot then the AVU's are already available.
