If you plan to vote curbside in an election, below are some recent changes you should be aware of.
Sworn oaths & ballot delivery
Curbside voters must 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.
Electioneering zone
Electioneering is when someone tries to influence how others vote in an election. Electioneering and loitering is prohibited in a 20-foot zone around the curbside voting space.
Transporting curbside voters
If a person transports a total of seven or more (unrelated) people to curbside vote over the span of an entire election, the driver must complete and sign a short form. When an election officer arrives at the curbside voting space to assist the voters, the officer will ask the driver if they have driven seven or more people to vote curbside.
For example, a person can transport six curbside voters during early voting and not have to complete the form. But, if that same person drives another curbside voter on election day (creating a total of seven people), then the driver will need to complete and sign the form.
