[nabs-l] Voting in the Upcoming November Election

[Greg Aikens]

When I voted in 2012, it was not a separate machine that was accessible. I voted on the regular machine but the card I put into it had some kind of encoding to activate the speech feature.

There's directional keys that allow you to choose your candidates and answers to questions. After you finish filling it out, you print it out and then just put it in the ballot box.

>>> Hi everyone! How are yu all? The subject says it all! How do you guys vote when elections come up in November? Meaning, how do visually impaired or blind individuals vote?  I'm just wondering since this is actually my second time voting, but when I voted before in the Presidential election someone read it to me. Do you guys think they can send me the election ballot by email; instead, of them reading it to me? I'm just curious is since I know that next week is going to be election in order to vote for our House of Representatives members and the Senate. I look forward in hearing your opinions and responses regarding this matter! Thanks so much and God bless!!
