Subject: Important notes about Voting

Hello,
There is still one last day to vote early for the primary election which will be held on Tuesday August 16. . If you would like to visit with Elizabeth Johnson about your voting experience, or if you think it would be helpful to have someone witness your experience, please call this number: 202-598-3300.


  *   I have also included some information to help you as you vote.  your particular polling place may not be open until election day which is Tuesday


  *   To use the accessible voting machine, Linda Newman from Juneau has sent the following link that describes the machine and walks through using it to vote:

If you are not sure where to vote, you may type in your address at the following link. Once you have clicked on it, just arrow down until you get the field where it says type in your address. If you type in the address, without the city, you can arrow down until you get to your city. You don’t need to put in the apartment number. Hit enter or space  on the search button. When I did it the first time, it found it immediately and I just arrowed down once or twice. The second time, it said there was no address but in about a minute, it was there. Click here

Here is what you will be voting for.

  *   The person who will fill the remainder of Rep. Don Young’s seat, serving from September to January 2023. That is the only vote that is a rank choice election. This means that you will rank three candidates. To learn more about “rank choice voting,” click here

  *   All other contests will require only one choice. They include:


  *   US Senate


  *   Alaska Governor


  *   Alaska Senate


  *   Alaska State House

Remember, with the state house and senate, throughout the state, candidates will be different depending on your district.

Other initiatives and judges will be on the November ballot.

If I have made any errors with my description, please feel free to correct me.

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.

[Delegate-BML]
