I don’t know if they can, but given some of the people holding elected office in this country they apparently do.
Based upon the results of the last election the answer is pretty clear.
Yes. They are known as Congressmen and Senators.
Well how in hell do you think we got the messiah????
Probably not, but that never stopped ACORN and Democrats from giving their families absentee ballots.
Of course—how else can one explain BHO?
I heard Hussein Obama ALSO called hydroencephaly victims WATERHEADS! What a JERK!
Can mentally retarded individuals vote? (Vanity)
How do you think that Obama was elected?
How else could Obama win?
I bet if they had all the information they wouldn’t vote for Obama.
Here’s a moldy oldie on that topic:
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/10/17/obama-supporters-steal-vote-from-disabled-man/
“Georgia state officials have begun an investigation into Primus Industries and the alleged voter fraud committed by one or more of its employees. Jack Justice attends the adult day care provided by Primus for mentally-challenged individuals, and one or more Primus aides took them to an early voting event without permission from their families. Once in the booth, the aide cast the ballot for Barack Obama over Justice’s protestations:”

Sure, and they can vote just as often as their ACORN representative will let them.
about 53% just proved that they can.
Even if they can't actually decide for themselves their keeper, who is a social worker or some other govt. paid employee, will not vote to plug the teat off of which they live.
Behind closed doors, when the lefties think no one else is listening, they speak among themselves and state quite openly that mentally handicapped babies should be killed in the delivery room and they ain’t kidding!
I think your question is a good one, and the posts here are downright funny.
I’d like to know the answer to your question.
And I think it’s important to distinguish mentally retarded. My daughter is mentally intellectually disabled with an IQ of 70, and she can vote. She also hold two jobs and is working on her associates degree in photography.
I should think this is obvious, considering the solid block that always votes democrat!
Assuming that your question is sincere, and not rhetorical:
This is a "no-brainer."
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibits literacy tests, character tests, and poll taxes. It would be unthinkable that any citizen, after having attained the age of majority, and after having registered to vote, would be denied that right, unless he was, e.g. a felon.

Given the 52% of the electorate that put Zero in office, my answer would be: Apparently.
The founders of that great republic were aware that universal franchise is suicide. As early as 1900, there were politicians who decided that suicide was a good thing.
Usually they are the ones on the ballot, not the ones voting..
