Establishes a pilot program allowing voters with disabilities to privately mark absentee ballots using assistive technology.
The bill allows the state commissioner of elections to implement a pilot program enabling voters with disabilities to independently and privately mark absentee ballots by mail. This includes using assistive technology such as nonvisual or low-vision access devices. The program must include a method for these voters to request absentee ballots by mail. If not implemented statewide, the program must cover enough counties to assess statewide feasibility. The state commissioner must report annually to the general assembly on the program's progress.
