[IL-Talk] Accessible Vote BY Mail Ballots

[davant1958 at gmail.com]

Hello Everyone,

Today, I received from the Illinois State Board of Elections a list of
counties who are or are in the process of signing up to participate in
setting up a way for blind people to vote by mail accessibly, independently
and privately. Cook is on the list. Though Chicago is not on the list, it is
one of the election authorities that has an accessible vote by mail system.
I urge anyone who wishes to vote by mail to participate in this process.
Once you vote, whether in-person or by mail, please take the NFB voting
survey to record your experience, positive or negative. If your county is
not listed, call your county clerk and strongly urge them to make this
accessible platform available to you.
