If you plan to vote curbside in the 2025 election, below are some changes you should be aware of.
New forms & ballot delivery
Curbside voters must now sign a sworn oath, verifying that they are physically unable to enter the polling place without assistance or risking their health, or that they are voting curbside as an accommodation for their disability. If someone else is with the voter (attendant, driver, etc.), they may vote via curbside without signing a sworn oath.
If a voter chooses not to sign the sworn oath, they cannot vote via curbside.
Polling locations with four or more election officers are now required to have two election officers deliver ballots to curbside voters.
New electioneering zone
A 20-foot zone that prohibits electioneering and loitering around the curbside voting space will now be enforced.
Transporting curbside voters
If/when a person transports a cumulative total of seven or more (unrelated) people to curbside vote, they must sign an affidavit. This affidavit will ask for the driver’s name and address. When an election officer arrives at the curbside voting space to assist the voters, they will ask the transporter if they have driven seven or more people to vote curbside.
For example, a person can drive six curbside voters during early voting and not have to sign an affidavit. If that same person drives another curbside voter on election day (creating a total of seven people), then the transporter will need to sign the affidavit.
