Elections - OmniBallot - Accessible Absentee Ballot
The Accessible Vote by Mail (AVBM) system allows you to receive, complete, and return your ballot electronically using a secure web portal if you are unable to mark a paper ballot because of a disability. This system is compatible with screen readers.
You may also choose to print your completed AVBM ballot and return it by mail, secure ballot drop box, or in person to your local election office or early voting location. To get access to the electronic ballot, you will need to fill out the application below and provide your email address. Please note: The deadline to make a request is 5pm on Tuesday, November 1, 2022.
The AVBM system is available only to voters who are unable to independently read, write, hold, or physically manipulate or mark ballots. This could be due to:
- blindness or vision impairments,
- mobility/dexterity disabilities, or
- other disabilities that make it difficult or impossible to effectively access a paper Vote by Mail ballot, because of inability to independently read, write, hold, or physically manipulate standard print materials. (source: Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts website)
