Vote By Mail Begins
October 17, 2012
Each county has at least one Accessible Voting Unit (AVU) - aka, Disability Access Unit (DAU). In counties that vote by mail, the County Elections Department Office is a voting center. (You can also call 800-448-4881 or 800-422-8683 TDD/TTY to find your county's AVU.)
AVUs present your ballot on a monitor. You select choices by touching the screen, using a select wheel, or by using a tool. There are headphones available to listen to your ballot. AVU can also be fitted with sip-and-puff tools.
NOTE: If you receive your ballot in the mail, take it with you to the voting center. An election worker will show you how to use the AVU. Your county elections department may arrange time in advance for you to practice using the AVU.
