[IL-Talk] FW: Opportunity to practice on Voting Works electronic ballot delivery system

[dan.tevelde at comcast.net]

Hi Denise,

I had a chance to test the Voting Works electronic ballot delivery system. I found some issues where the ballot could be tweaked to make the process of casting it more intuitive. Is there someone I should report the issues to? Thanks for making the testing available. This was really helpful.

Dan

Dear Colleagues,

 

As you are probably aware, your state will be implementing the Voting Works/My Ballot electronic ballot delivery system for the November general election so that blind, low-vision, and other voters with print disabilities can mark their absentee ballot privately and independently. The implementation of accessible absentee voting in your state is a direct result of the advocacy efforts of the National Federation of the Blind.

 

To help our members become familiar with this system, Voting Works has created a demo ballot that members can access and mark the ballot as many times as they wish. The link to the demo ballot and login information are as follows:   

 

https://demo.access.vote/

First Name: Demo

Last Name: Voter

DoB: 01/01/1980

Access PIN: 040665

 

Please distribute this information to affiliate members through your affiliate lists.

 

I am also working with Voting Works to schedule a Zoom meeting so that members can ask a Voting Works representative questions they may have about the system. Currently, I am looking at Tuesday, September 29, or Wednesday, September 30 at 8:00 pm Eastern. If either of these dates conflict with scheduled affiliate meetings, please let me know. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you very much!

 

Best regards, 

 

Lou Ann
