We are grateful for the tireless work of advocates like you who support equality, opportunity, and security among our fellow blind friends and family. Sharing your experience in the election is still needed. If you have already submitted the survey, please disregard this message. Thank you!

We advocate for the right of blind and low-vision Americans to vote privately and independently. And, while our efforts have resulted in much progress, we will continue our work as long as there are blind voters who are denied this fundamental right. 

“In spite of the requirement of the Help America Vote Act, which was signed into law in 2002, that every polling place have at least one accessible voting machine for all federal elections, it is still not uncommon for a blind voter to arrive at their polling place and find that there is no accessible way for them to vote privately and independently,” says Lou Ann Blake, Director of Research Programs, Blindness Initiatives, National Federation of the Blind

All blind and low-vision voters, please share both good and bad voting experiences you've had in this 2022 general election by completing our Blind and Low-Vision Voter Experience Survey! English and Spanish versions are available below. If someone is not able to access the survey online, they can call 410-659-9314 and get assistance from either Lou Ann Blake (extension 2221) or Jeff Kaloc (extension 2206). Please complete and share the survey.

About Our Voting Efforts and Resources


Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act requires that blind and low-vision voters must be provided an opportunity to vote privately and independently that is equivalent to the opportunity provided to voters without disabilities. For many years the National Federation of the Blind has advocated for the right of blind and low-vision Americans to vote privately and independently, and while our efforts have resulted in much progress, we will continue our work as long as there are blind voters who are denied the private and independent exercise of their fundamental right.
