Voters have the opportunity to mark their ballots privately and independently using assistive ballot marking devices. These devices have a variety of accessibility options including audio, large font, color contrast, touch screen input and tactile input to assist voters in marking a ballot.
This accessible equipment is available in the Pierce County Election Center during normal business hours, 18-days prior to every election. We encourage voters to plan their in-person visit early in that 18-day period to avoid the crowds.
If one of the above options doesn’t work for you, please contact us for further assistance.
