While attending the 2011 convention of the National Federation of the Blind at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort, don't forget to visit the free literature area, Sebastian K and L Ballrooms, Level 1, to pickup copies of The Blind Voter's Guide and The Blind Voter Registration Drive Guide.  Both guides were prepared by the NFB Jernigan Institute under a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
 
The nonpartisan Blind Voter's Guide discusses the right of blind individuals to cast a private and independent vote, as guaranteed by the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), why it is important to vote, and how to register to vote.  It is available in Braille, large print, and audiocassette.  
 
Hosting a voter registration drive is a great way for state affiliates and local chapters to attract new members and serve your community.  The Blind Voter Registration Drive Guide will provide you with the tools necessary to plan and hold a voter registration drive for the blind members of your community.  It is available in Braille and large print.
 
If you have any questions or will not be attending convention and would like to receive The Blind Voter's Guide and/or The Blind Voter Registration Drive Guide, please contact Lou Ann Blake in the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute by e-mail at lblake at nfb.org or by telephone at 410-659-9314, ext. 2221.
