[nfb-db] Deaf-blind focus group on access technology and voting

[Scott Davert]

Hello all.
I'm passing the below info on at the request of Lou Ann blake. I
don't, as of yet, have details on where we would go to participate,
but I will have them tomorrow if people are interested.

Dear Scott,

I hope this e-mail finds you well.

The National Federation of the Blind will be conducting, via online
chat, a focus group for deaf-blind voters on Tuesday, November 12,
3:00-4:00 p.m. EST. The purpose of this focus group is to learn from
deaf-blind individuals about the types of barriers they currently face
in casting a private and independent ballot, and about the types of
personal access technology used by the deaf-blind that could remove
these barriers. This information will be provided to voting technology
researchers and developers during a seminar hosted by the NFB in
December 2013.

We would be very happy if you could participate in this focus group.
We need your input so that we can work with election technology
researchers and developers to design voting systems that will enable
deaf-blind citizens to vote privately and independently! Please feel
free to contact me if you have any questions. I have attached the
focus group agenda for your information.

Best regards,



Lou Ann
