Coalition of Blind and Vision Impaired Voters
You Have Rights
New Hampshire citizens have the right to vote independently, privately, and with a secret ballot in federal, state, and local elections. The Help Americans Vote Act (HAVA) and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) establish specific protections for voters with disabilities.
Impact of COVID-19 on Voting
As New Hampshire elections officials considered the potential impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the November 2020 elections and beyond, the Coalition helped to raise awareness of issues relating specifically to voting and disability. The pandemic highlighted the important fact that ALL should be able to vote in a way that does not force voters to choose between giving up privacy and independence, and risking their health by voting in person at the polls.
