Accessible Vote-By-Mail Information and User Testing Opportunity at the 2022 National Federation of the Blind National Convention!

 

Do you live in a state or county that does not provide an accessible way to vote-by-mail? Would you like to be able to vote-by-mail privately and independently? If you answered yes to either of both of these questions, the Accessible Vote-By-Mail Toolkit is for you! This comprehensive resource includes information, sample legislative language, and sample hearing testimony that will help you work with your state/local legislature to ensure that vote-by-mail is accessible. Copies of the Accessible Vote-By-Mail toolkit will be available in large print and Braille at the free literature tables during the 2022 NFB national convention in New Orleans!

 

Also available in free literature will be The Blind Voter's Guide, Blind Voter Registration Drive Guide, the Voting Guide for Young People Who are Blind or Low-Vision, and Blind Poll Worker Recruitment Flyer in both English and Spanish. Be sure to stop by and pick up your free copies in large print and Braille!

 

If you are unable to attend convention but would like electronic copies of this free information for voters who are blind or visually impaired, please contact Lou Ann Blake, NFB HAVA project manager, at lblake at nfb.org <mailto:lblake at nfb.org> . Please indicate which documents you want, MS Word or BRF, and English or Spanish. You can also order hard copies of these documents by calling the NFB Independence Market at 410-659-9314, ext. 2216.

 

Tusk Philanthropies is very excited to offer attendees of the NFB 2022 national convention a first look at a mobile voting application currently under development.  This application will enable any voter, regardless of ability or location, to vote independently and privately. App developers would like to get your feedback on the app's usability. The goal is to ensure that the app is fully accessible for all voters, and your input will be invaluable towards this effort. Testing will take place in Studio 10 on Saturday, July 9, from Noon - 1:45pm and again from 5:15-7:00pm.

 

To keep the testing sessions small, you are requested to sign up for a time slot. You can choose a 20-minute time slot by completing this sign up form:  <https://forms.gle/4BvFn7F3hBsxRZtz5> https://forms.gle/4BvFn7F3hBsxRZtz5
