People with disabilities have the right to vote in Oregon. And thanks to vote-by-mail, many Oregonians have an accessible way to cast their ballot. But some people still need assistance to participate in our democracy.

The Oregon Secretary of State’s office has some help available.

Learn about services for people with disabilities at Oregonvotes.gov/Access or call 866-673-8683 or TTY 1-800-735-2900.

Did you know that voters with disabilities can use accommodations like the following?

  • A large print ballot.
  • An electronic ballot that is screen reader accessible.
  • A signature stamp from the county clerk to allow a voter who has difficulty signing a way to sign their ballot envelope.
  • A tablet-based voting process, when a paper ballot is not accessible to the voter.

If you want to find out more about how to make voting more accessible, contact the Oregon Elections Division at Oregonvotes.gov/Access or call 866-673-8683 or TTY 1-800-735-2900.
