Disability Voting
We believe that every voter has the right to vote independently and privately and are committed to provide meaningful access to all eligible voters within Millard County.
If you have any questions about voting, or are in need of assistance, you may contact our office at 435-743-6223 or [email protected].
Millard County mails every active registered voter a ballot approximately 21 days before each election. This allows a vast majority of our voters to vote from the comfort of their own home. However, there are three methods of voting options that a voter with disabilities may choose from:
Vote by Mail:
Choosing this method allows voters to complete their ballot at home and return it to our office through U.S. Postal Mail or by placing it in one of the Drop Boxes located throughout the county. Ballot drop box locations may be found here: Ballot Drop Box Locations.
In Person Voting:
If a voter prefers, they may vote in person at one of our vote centers during early voting or on Election Day. Click on Vote Center locations to find a location near you. Both of our vote centers are ADA compliant and are equipped with touch screen ballot marking devices that voters may use to help them fill out their ballot. These marking devices are available to any voter upon request, but are particularly helpful to voters that have a hard time reading or marking a paper ballot. These marking devices are designed with accessibility features to enable independent and private voting; such as: large font, contrast, audio, voting pad, and plugins for sip and puff or rocker paddles. You may bring your own headphones and accessories or use the headphones we provide. The following videos explain how to vote in more detail:
