Submit Your Voting Experience in Survey

Sharing your experience in the election is needed. We advocate for the
right of blind and low-vision Americans to vote privately and
independently. And, while our efforts have resulted in much progress, we
will continue our work as long as there are blind voters who are denied
this fundamental right.

*“In spite of the requirement of the Help America Vote Act, which was
signed into law in 2002, that every polling place have at least one
accessible voting machine for all federal elections, it is still not
uncommon for a blind voter to arrive at their polling place and find that
there is no accessible way for them to vote privately and independently,”
says Lou Ann Blake, Director of Research Programs, Blindness Initiatives,
National Federation of the Blind*

All blind and low-vision voters, please share both good and bad voting
experiences you've had in this 2022 general election by completing our
Blind and Low-Vision Voter Experience Survey! English and Spanish versions

About Our Voting Efforts and Resources

Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act requires that blind and
low-vision voters must be provided an opportunity to vote privately and
independently that is equivalent to the opportunity provided to voters
without disabilities. For many years the National Federation of the Blind
has advocated for the right of blind and low-vision Americans to vote
privately and independently, and while our efforts have resulted in much
progress, we will continue our work as long as there are blind voters who
are denied the private and independent exercise of their fundamental right.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
