Good Evening Federation Family:

As noted below, the national organization just got the below information yesterday, and I just got it moments ago, so this is extremely time-sensitive. If you wish to contribute stories for this project, please do so by 4PM central tomorrow! In the meantime, I will have more information on voting rights efforts specific to Iowa this weekend along with a call to action. Please reach out if there are any questions!

Deadline July 16: Submit Your Experiences on Accessibility Barriers in the Last Election

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is collecting information on access to voting and any accessibility barriers you have experienced to include access to voter registration, voting technology, voting by mail, polling locations, and poll worker training. They are especially interested in your personal stories. Unfortunately, we only learned about this yesterday and the comments are due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern on Friday, July 16. Submit your comments by either filling out their form, or by uploading your own Word or PDF document.

The portal can be found at https://www.regulations.gov/document/NIST-2021-0003-0001 <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=22226&qid=5715435> .

Please read the topics for discussion under the “Request for Information” heading, then select the “Comment” link, which will take you to a page where you can write or upload your response.

We apologize for the late notice, but greatly appreciate your attention to this matter.

About the National Federation of the Blind & Voting

The National Federation of the Blind is working to ensure that all blind voters have the ability to vote privately and independently through advocacy efforts, voting resources <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=22227&qid=5715435> , and our National Center for Nonvisual Election Technology <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=22228&qid=5715435> . Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams.
