Poll-watching plans should not overlook voting activity involving residents of nursing homes and other care facilities.
Vulnerable residents have the right to vote—and the equal right to decline. Assistance must protect their choices, not replace them.
Work with your county election office to understand:
• How voting assistance is provided
• Who may enter facilities for election activity
• Who may handle voting materials
• Whether authorized observation is permitted
• How concerns should be reported
Every potential ballot represents a person.
