<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I am writing to bring to your attention the informational briefing hosted by Secure Families Initiative, NFB of New York, and New York Council of the blind on the electronic
ballot return bill currently in the New York general assembly. The CEOs of both Democracy Live and Enhanced Voting, the two most commonly used remote accessible vote by mail systems (RAVBM) in the US will give a demonstration of their system during the briefing.
Both vendors will address the security of their system. The briefing will take place tomorrow, September 6, at 7:00 PM Eastern. If you are available, I would encourage you to register for this one hour briefing to learn about these systems and how they ensure
ballot security. To attend, you must register at </span><a href="https://securefamiliesinitiative.org/electronic-ballot-return-demonstration-briefing/" target="_blank">Electronic Ballot Return Demonstration Briefing | Secure Families Initiative</a>.
