Disability Exemption

An exemption to the requirement that a voter show one of the 7 acceptable ID’s before voting a regular ballot. Voters with a disability may apply with the county voter registrar for this permanent exemption. The application must contain written documentation from either the U.S. Social Security Administration evidencing he or she has been determined to have a disability, or from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs evidencing a disability rating of at least 50 percent. In addition, the applicant must state that he or she has no valid form of photo identification. Those who obtain a disability exemption will be allowed to vote by presenting a voter registration certificate reflecting the exemption [shown as (E) on the VR certificate].
