[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad has dementia. He can’t tell you the date and sometimes forgets my name (mixes up a lot of words) but he knows who he will vote for. He voted by mail-in ballot in the last presidential election but his dementia wasn’t as bad. He could probably still fill out a ballot and, at least for the major candidates, his vote would be consistent with who he has always been - but there’s no way he could answer any questions or evaluate finer issues. At what point in dementia do you not send for a mail-in ballot for the person? [/quote] If you are only talking about the next Presidential election, you don’t have to make a decision yet- another year and you may make a different decision. If you are talking about the fall elections and he knows about them and who he wants, then I would say he is still able to vote. [/quote]
