For those of you who haven't, you might choose to cast your ballot at a voter service polling center. If so, you should know that every polling center in Colorado has some form of nonvisually-accessible equipment that enables blind/low vision voters to mark their ballots privately and independently. Most counties in Colorado use a system from Dominion called the Imagecast X ballot marking device. Two counties (Douglas and Garfield) use a system from Clear Ballot called ClearAccess.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am pleased to tell you that the Colorado Secretary of State's office has provided us with two nonvisually-accessible videos to demonstrate how the systems from Dominion and Clear Ballot can be used by blind/low vision voters.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The Imagecast demonstration video can be found at this link:<br><a href="https://vimeo.com/913038610/e4fe75533a?share=copy">https://vimeo.com/913038610/e4fe75533a?share=copy</a>.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The ClearAccess demonstration video can be found at this link.<br><a href="https://vimeo.com/917736609/8115273ffb">https://vimeo.com/917736609/8115273ffb</a>.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>After you activate either of the above links, you will be taken to a Vimeo video page.
