> 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.
