[IL-Talk] Link to News Article on Voting Accessibility for Disabled People

[chicago.president at nfbofillinois.org]

Hello All,

We are in the election season. I want to make sure that we as blind, low
vision and print disabled voters know our options for voting.

I am forwarding you a link to a news article discussing voting access in
Illinois. Note, the article talks about in-person. However, please note that
if you want to vote in your home or office using your own computer and
assistive technology, you can request electronic delivery of your ballot
from your local election authority. But please be aware that you will have
to print out the ballot and mail it back to the local election authority
once you have marked and verified it. Call or consult the Illinois Board of
Election website or your local election authority website if you think you
want an electronic ballot.
