Dear Fellow Federationists,<br>
<br>
The US Election Assistance Commission (EAC) wants to hear from blind, low
vision, and other voters with disabilities about their voting experience
as part of their work to update voting system guidelines. As part of its
effort to learn about the experience of voters with disabilities, the EAC
held a public hearing on accessible voting on April 27, 2016, to hear
from voters with disabilities. You can make your voting experience part
of the official hearing transcript by emailing your voting story to
<a href="mailto:listen@eac.gov">listen@eac.gov</a> by Wednesday, May 11,
2016. Help improve voting accessibility by telling your personal voting
story to the EAC! Thank you!<br><br>
<br>
Lou Ann<br>

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 have the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.<br>

lives they want.<br>
