The number is 1-877-632-1940. This number cannot be used during early voting. John Pare, director of advocacy and policy for the national federation of the blind, said this number can only be used on election day, Tuesday, November 5. Problems with accessible voting machines or any other aspect of voting can be reported. I encourage anyone encountering a problem voting to also contact their county board of elections. There is a voting resources link on nfb.org. The NFB is collecting stories about the personal experiences of blind voters for potentially sharing with media and public policy makers. These stories will personalize the need for improvements in the accessibility in federal, state and local elections. To share your story, go to <a href="mailto:myvote@nfb.org">myvote@nfb.org</a> or call 410-659-9314 ext 8683. If you call and leave a message, be sure to leave your name, where you live and how you can be contacted. Chris Minkler, president NFB Buffalo chapter. <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
