If you live in a nursing home or an assisted living facility, the administrator of your facility can make plans with the local Supervisor of Elections to provide a specific time for you to vote where you live. Election officials will bring ballots to the facility for any registered voter(s). Check with the administrator of your facility to see if voting has been set up in the facility where you live. If not, don't be afraid to request that the administrator do so - it is their obligation by law. If the administrator refuses to help you, contact your local Supervisor of Elections or the Florida Voter Assistance Hotline, Toll Free, at 1-866-308-6739.
What to Expect At My Polling Place
Voting can be confusing if you have never voted before. This guide provides helpful information, and election workers are trained to help make the voting process easier for you if it is your first time. Don’t be afraid to ask for whatever assistance you need.
The law says all polling places must be accessible to a person with disabilities. Everyone should be able to get into their polling place. The doors should be wide enough for a wheelchair to fit through. There should be ramps or elevators if there are steps up or down. The parking lot and the walkways must be accessible.
Note: The Help America Vote Act requires at least one voting machine in every polling place to be accessible to anyone who has a disability.
