[nfb-db] Third Question for Deaf-Blind Accessible Voting Focus Group

[Blake, Lou Ann]

Dear List Members,

Thank you so much to those who responded to the second question of our deaf-blind focus group on accessible voting! You provided some great feedback. The elements of an ideal voting environment identified by the focus group participants were:

*       Provide a refreshable Braille display that could be used in conjunction with the audio output of the accessible voting system;

*       Placing the accessible voting system in a quiet place;

*       Vote at home using my own access technology, and;

*       Provide the capability to plug Bluetooth capable hearing aid systems into the audio system of the accessible voting machine.

The third question for our accessible voting focus group is:

*       What types of personal access technology currently available could help bring the ideal voting environment about?

Please provide your response to this question by 12:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, November 20th. All deaf-blind list members who have voted are welcome and encouraged to participate! If you have any questions, please contact:
