An OmniBallot Tablet voting machine with the text: Get ready to VOTE.

The OmniBallot Tablet was created to make voting accessible to individuals with a range of disabilities (including vision loss and hearing loss) so they may cast their vote in the same private and dignified manner as voters who are not using the system. In fact, anyone is welcome to use – and may find it easier to use – the OmniBallot Tablet, not just individuals with a formalized disability.

In addition to providing an accessible way for individuals with disabilities to vote, the presence of the OmniBallot Tablet encourages poll workers and ballot clerks to become more aware of issues related to inclusion and accessibility. When a person uses the OmniBallot, they are not just casting a ballot, they are also helping to preserve and protect the rights of Americans with disabilities.

**Thanks to the passing of NH Bill 1264, the OmniBallot Tablet is now available to use at all polling places for ALL elections.**

 

Future In Sight partners with the State of New Hampshire to provide resources that empower individuals with disabilities to ensure their voice is heard by exercising their right to vote. This includes live trainings on using the OmniBallot Tablet.

Problems at the Polls

Unfortunately on occasion, some voters experience difficulties when trying to accessibly cast their vote at their polling place. Here’s some things for you to know:

  • NH law requires every polling place to have the OmniBallot Tablet available. The NH Secretary of State’s office provides the systems to each polling place.
  • If you are not provided with the equipment or the assistance that you need, contact the Secretary of State’s office at 603-271-3242 from your polling place.
  • Plan to vote earlier in the day if possible so that there’s ample time to resolve any issues that might arise. Remember to be kind to the poll workers. They are volunteers!
