Subject: Accessible voting on Tuesday, August 14th

Dear BESB and Workers' Rehab staff and community partners, 

Immediately below is a message from Andrew Norton, our Legislative and
Administrative Advisor at the Department of Rehabilitation Services. It
pertains to accessible voting machines that will be available to use for
voting in the August 14th primaries. His email also includes information on
a hotline phone number available through the Secretary of State's Office as
well as a phone number for trying out the vote by phone technology. Please
pass this information along to anyone you know who may wish to use this
accessible technology for voting. 

Sincerely,

Brian

From: Norton, Andrew 

Dear friends:

As many of you already know, Tuesday, August 14th, is Primary Day in
Connecticut. There are party nomination races for state representative,
state senate and U.S. Representative in many towns across the state. And
since there is also a primary in both parties for U.S. Senate, the polls
will be open in every city and town in Connecticut.  Please be advised that
the vote-by-phone alternative for accessible voting must, by law, be
available in every polling place.

I wanted you to be aware that the Secretary of the State's office has a
telephone hotline available for inquiries and complaints. It is open every
business day and will be open on Primary Day during all voting hours which
are from 6:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.  That number is (866) 733-2463. Feel free
to call them if you have questions or concerns on Primary Day or earlier.

Also, I wanted to make you aware of a special number that you may call to
practice with the vote-by-phone technology ahead of time should you choose.
At the bottom of this e-mail are the instructions to follow for your
practice session.  You may also visit the Office of Protection & Advocacy
website by clicking http://www.ct.gov/opapd/cwp/view.asp?a=1756
<http://www.ct.gov/opapd/cwp/view.asp?a=1756&q=422996> &q=422996 for more
information on the rights of voters with disabilities.

Sincerely,

Andrew Norton
