[Lewis Wood]

I just participated in the android voting test suite about 2 months ago.

 

If I am not on the list already, you can add me.

Greetings and salutations:

 

I am working with a company called Tusk Philanthropies on mobile voting using iOS and Android devices. Tusk Philanthropies is devoting quite a bit of resources to the development of test mobile apps for voting and ballot validation. This outfit has done a lot to involve blind people in the testing effort. Tusk Philanthropies spoke to the general session at one of our national conventions, and their team has come to in-person national conventions in recent times to run focus groups to test their work.

 

I am hoping to find people who are familiar with and regular users of Android who might be willing to become a part of the testing effort to ensure that the mobile voting app works well for blind/low vision Android users. I am not seeking an Android geek. Rather, I am looking for a person who understands and uses Android who can think like a nontechnical voter. If mobile voting is going to become a reality in our lives, it needs to work for everyone--not just for the technologically-gifted😊.

 

There is no money to be made for this effort, I regret to say.

 

If you are interested in participating in this effort, please write to me offline at chong.curtis at gmail.com <mailto:chong.curtis at gmail.com> .

 

Kind wishes,

 

Curtis Chong
