Electronic Voting an Option for Voters with Print Disabilities

Those with print disabilities who are legally allowed to vote by absentee ballot in New Hampshire can now use their computers to mark their choices on an electronic ballot, reports the Associated Press.

This news was passed down by the NH Secretary of State’s Office on Monday. The electronic ballot would be emailed to the voter’s city or town clerk’s office, before being hand counted on election day. According to the office’s release, the voter’s choices would not be transmitted over the internet. A typed name will reportedly be considered a valid signature for those with print disabilities.

This option will be available for disabled voters for the upcoming September 8th primary election.

Applications are available on the Secretary of State’s website.
