My father-in-law has similar problem. He used to vote. However, his caregiver and my hubby think that he does not need to vote. He probably has some ballot in the house, but he won't be able to vote alone in the booth. He  cannot understand CNN anymore so he is not really aware of what is going on politically. He does not even know if some bad news happened in his area or far away. Even though we know whom he would vote for. Strictly speaking, he should not vote because his mind is not there anymore. His friend said he should vote but she has no idea how far his mind has gone. In fact, my FIL felt relieved when my husband told him he does not have to vote. You see, he has trouble to select among things, not to mention the election!   If your Dad does not know anyone annd any news anymore, he should not bother to vote. I saw that the ballot allows someone else to sign for him indicating the reason. But I think your Mom can just vote for herself.   Just my 2 cents, Nina
