Requires election authorities to provide Braille ballots on request

HB 1598 requires election authorities in Missouri to provide Braille ballots to voters who request them. The bill also mandates that voter registration applications be available in English, Spanish, and Braille to improve accessibility for blind and visually impaired citizens. These changes aim to ensure that individuals with visual impairments can independently access voting materials and registration forms. By updating the forms and ballot options, the legislation seeks to remove physical barriers to participation in the electoral process.
