Maryland Election Law permits reassignment if a barrier-free polling place is available in a precinct that has a ballot identical to the precinct in which the voter is registered.
Elections officials urge that requests for reassignment be made immediately.
If a satisfactory substitute-polling place is not available, or if the voter with a disability does not wish to be reassigned, voting by absentee ballot is an alternative. Applications for absentee ballots to be mailed must be submitted to the Board of Elections by 5 p.m., February 29, 2000.
