wish. The link to the demo ballot and login information are as follows:

Dear Colleagues,



As you are probably aware, your state will be implementing the Voting 
Works/My Ballot electronic ballot delivery system for the November general 
election so that blind, low-vision, and other voters with print disabilities 
can mark their absentee ballot privately and independently. The 
implementation of accessible absentee voting in your state is a direct 
result of the advocacy efforts of the National Federation of the Blind.



To help our members become familiar with this system, Voting Works has 
created a demo ballot that members can access and mark the ballot as many 
times as they wish. The link to the demo ballot and login information are as 
follows:



https://demo.access.vote/

First Name: Demo

Last Name: Voter

DoB: 01/01/1980

Access PIN: 040665



Please distribute this information to affiliate members through your 
affiliate lists.



I am also working with Voting Works to schedule a Zoom meeting so that 
members can ask a Voting Works representative questions they may have about 
the system. Currently, I am looking at Tuesday, September 29, or Wednesday, 
September 30 at 8:00 pm Eastern. If either of these dates conflict with 
scheduled affiliate meetings, please let me know. If you have any questions, 
please feel free to contact me. Thank you very much!



Best regards,



Lou Ann
