NFB HOTLINE AND VOTER EXPERIENCE SURVEY FOR BLIND AND LOW-VISION VOTERS

The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) requires that every polling place
have at least one accessible voting machine available for every
federal election so voters with disabilities can cast a private and
independent ballot. To help ensure that blind and low-vision voters
are not denied this right, the National Federation of the Blind will
host an Election Day hotline that blind and low-vision voters, poll
workers, and voting rights advocates can call when problems with
accessible voting technology or other barriers are preventing a blind
voter from casting a private and independent ballot.

The hotline will be available on November 3, 2020, by calling
1-877-NFB-1940 ( 1-877-632-1940( from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern and
Pacific standard time. Individuals who have experience in the
operation of accessible voting technology will be staffing the hotline
to provide assistance to blind voters, election officials, and voting
rights advocates.

Once you have exercised your fundamental right to vote, please
complete our 2020 Blind and Low-Vision Voter Experience Survey! The
2020 blind and low-vision voter experience survey consists of two
separate surveys. If you voted absentee or by mail using an accessible
electronic ballot delivery system or a traditional paper ballot,
please complete the survey for blind and low-vision voters who voted
absentee or by mail at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YJJL7GN.

If you are a blind or low-vision voter who voted at an early voting
center or at a polling place on Election Day, please complete the
survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NGFMPF2.
