• Identifying the Barriers and Challenges to Voting by Residents in Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Settings JOURNAL OF AGING & SOCIAL POLICY Karlawish, J. H., Bonnie, R. J., Appelbaum, P. S., Kane, R. A., Lyketsos, C. G., Karlan, P. S., James, B. D., Sabatino, C., Lawrence, T., Knopman, D. 2008; 20 (1): 65-79

  Abstract

  To ascertain the need for and to inform development of guidelines for voting in long-term care settings, we conducted a telephone survey of Philadelphia nursing (n = 31) and assisted living (n = 20) settings following the 2003 election. Substantial variability existed in procedures used for registration and voting, in staff attitudes, and in the estimated proportion of residents who voted (29%+/-28, range 0-100%). Residents who wanted to vote were unable to do so at nearly one-third of sites, largely due to procedural problems. Nearly two-thirds of facilities indicated they assessed residents' voting capacity before the election. However, methods differed and may have disenfranchised residents who were actually competent to vote. Current procedures in many facilities fail to protect voting rights. These data suggest that rights might be better protected if election officials took charge of registration, filing absentee ballot requests, ballot completion, and trained LTC facility staff on voters' rights and reasonable accommodations.

• Addressing the ethical, legal, and social issues raised by voting by persons with dementia JAMA-JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION Karlawish, J. H., Bonnie, R. J., Appelbaum, P. S., Lyketsos, C., James, B., Knopman, D., Patusky, C., Kane, R. A., Karlan, P. S. 2004; 292 (11): 1345-1350

  Abstract

  This article addresses an emerging policy problem in the United States participation in the electoral process by citizens with dementia. At present, health care professionals, family caregivers, and long-term care staff lack adequate guidance to decide whether individuals with dementia should be precluded from or assisted in casting a ballot. Voting by persons with dementia raises a series of important questions about the autonomy of individuals with dementia, the integrity of the electoral process, and the prevention of fraud. Three subsidiary issues warrant special attention: development of a method to assess capacity to vote; identification of appropriate kinds of assistance to enable persons with cognitive impairment to vote; and formulation of uniform and workable policies for voting in long-term care settings. In some instances, extrapolation from existing policies and research permits reasonable recommendations to guide policy and practice. However, in other instances, additional research is necessary.
