HB 1662 -- BLIND OR VISUALLY IMPAIRED VOTERS

SPONSOR: Proudie

This bill requires the use of a Help American Vote Act compliant machine for the blind or visually impaired voters to be used at state and local elections as well as federal elections. The costs of using the machines at any statewide or general election will be paid by the state and subject to appropriation. The bill does not require that voting must be done using the machines, and assisted voting for the blind or visually impaired will continue to be allowed.

This bill is the same as HB 970 (2019).
