Senior Citizen Voter Bill of Rights

Senior Citizen Voter Bill of Rights

Senior citizens can face unique challenges with the electoral process as they deal with issues of aging. These can include sensory and mobility changes, access to transportation, or even a residence change to a new voting jurisdiction. At the American Constitutional Rights Union, we believe voting jurisdictions and senior residence communities must take all steps necessary to provide easy voting access for our seniors while also protecting their ballots from every form of vote fraud.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE

The federal Voting Accessibility for the Elderly and Handicapped Act of 1984 (VAEHA) is designed to assure the fundamental right to vote by directing polling locations to provide access for elderly and handicapped voters.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REGISTER TO VOTE

You also have the right to register to vote if you have changed your place of residence. Registration requirements vary by state and are found by calling your state, county or city election office. You may find your state’s requirements or directly register to vote at https://www.eac.gov/voters/register-and-vote-in-your-state. To avoid fraud, we recommend you contact your previous voting jurisdiction to ensure you are removed from their voter rolls.
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BE AWARE OF VOTE FRAUD

After every recent election, there have been reports and prosecutions of people taking advantage of seniors to commit vote fraud by changing votes, inputting false choices and other crimes. Vote fraud is often committed face-to-face by people who will approach you to “assist” with filling out your ballot, or “delivering” your ballot to a polling location. You should only rely on trusted and known individuals to assist you with voting, and you have the right to refuse assistance from anyone you do not know or trust.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY

If any person is assisting you at your private home or residential facility with filling in your mail-in, absentee or in-person ballot, your choice is yours alone and should not reflect the political choices of the person providing assistance. You have the right to confirm your vote or to ask assistance from another trusted friend or relative to make sure your choice is clearly marked. Any person assisting you with transportation or accommodation at your home, residential facility or polling station has no right to ask you about your personal and private voting preferences or make a voting suggestion. Voting is confidential!
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ASSISTANCE FROM UNKNOWN PERSONS

Many political operatives are active in neighborhoods or facilities with a large senior population and have been known to manipulate or change votes. If you are approached by a stranger with offers of voting assistance, you have a right to refuse such help and request that the operative or unknown person leave your property or residential unit.

YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO AN ABSENTEE OR VOTE BY MAIL BALLOT

Although procedures for voting by mail or absentee ballots vary by state, every state must provide senior citizens with an absentee or mail in ballot when requested. You can find this information by calling your state or local election office or online at https://www.usa.gov/election-office.

We Must Protect the Voting Rights of Our Elderly

It is most often the poor and the elderly who lose their votes to the ballot harvesters.

Washington Times, March 31, 2020

“There wasn’t a signature. There was just an ‘X’. She was either coerced or someone else put an x for her name.”

The Philadelphia Inquirer, November 3, 2017
