[IL-Talk] IL-Talk Digest, Vol 237, Issue 20

Tue Jan 23 16:13:23 UTC 2024

Good morning Jemal and the group,

I am so sad to here about your Dad passing. You and he are in my prayers today.

P.S. Text the word BLIND to 85944 to donate $10 to the NFB Imagination Fund via your phone bill.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

Hello All,

I received the below flyer from the Chicago Board of Elections. I am pasting
it in, rather than sending an attachment to the mailing list. As an FYI,

Kira and I were told that there have been improvements to the Chicago Board
of Election website as it is now WCAG compliant. See the information below.

Accessible Voting By Mail 

In Chicago

What is Accessible Vote By Mail?

The Accessible Vote By Mail program allows voters with disabilities to read
and 

mark their ballots independently to access and mark their ballots through an
online 

system, and then print out their ballots and mail in those ballots.

Who is eligible?

n

Registered voters who are blind, have low vision, or another disability that

prevents you from privately and independently reading, marking, and
verifying 

your ballot.

n

Have a working email address.

n

Have access to a printer to print your ballot, as this is not an email
voting system.

What happens next?

n

If you are eligible, you will receive a web link at the email address you
provided, 

which you can use to read, mark and verify your ballot.

n

You will receive an envelope to return your ballot once you print it out.

n

You must return your printed paper ballot and envelope by Election Day, 

March 19, 2024. 

If you are interested in the Accessible Vote By Mail option, please apply to
Vote By 

Mail online at chicagoelections.gov and choose this option in Step 3. Or you
can 

contact the Chicago Board of Elections at ADAaccess at chicagoelections.gov

<mailto:ADAaccess at chicagoelections.gov>  or call 

us at 312-269-7906 and we can assist you with signing up. 

Please note: this is not an email voting system. The ballots in this program
must be 

printed out and returned to the Chicago Election Board in a Ballot Return
Envelope.
