Introduced Text

Ohio HB893 aims to minimize wait standing time for voters with difficulty standing.

Ohio HB893 amends the Revised Code to require boards of elections to create an accommodation plan to minimize standing time for voters who experience difficulty standing for a prolonged period. The plan must include a priority waiting line for these voters, a designated seating area, and any other accommodations that effectively minimize standing time. The board shall train precinct election officials to execute the plan and provide necessary equipment and signage. The plan must be offered to all voters, but no voter is required to use any such accommodation.
