TELL THE EAC ABOUT YOUR VOTING EXPERIENCE 

 

The U. S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) wants to hear from voters
with disabilities about their Election Day stories.  Please take time to
give your personal feedback to the EAC, good or bad.  Either way the EAC
wants to hear from us. 

 

Please e-mail your personal Election Day story to listen at eac.gov.

 

The Help America Vote Act contains landmark provisions requiring the secure,
private, and independent casting of ballots by voters with disabilities,
including blind and low-vision voters.  Even so, on Election Day this year,
the EAC and the NFB heard from voters who faced a variety of difficulties
with the voting process.  Other blind and low-vision voters reported
positive experiences. It is very important that EAC hears what each of us
has to say.
