*Activities and Information at the NFB 2018 National Convention to Empower
Blind, Low Vision, and Deaf-Blind Voters*

*Accessible Vote-By-Mail Workshop*In this era of paper ballots and
vote-by-mail, our right to cast a private, independent, and secret ballot
cannot be taken for granted. As the number of states that are considering
and converting to all vote-by-mail continues to increase, it is imperative
that we have the knowledge and tools necessary to ensure that voting
remains accessible.

The information you will need to ensure accessibility when your state
starts the process to convert to all vote-by-mail can be learned at "How to
Advocate for Accessibility with the Vote-By-Mail Toolkit" on Saturday, July
7, 7:00 PM, in Wekiwa 4 at the NFB national convention in Orlando, You will
learn how to use the tools in the accessible vote-by-mail toolkit to ensure
that blind, low vision, and deaf-blind voters are provided an equal
opportunity to vote privately and independently in vote-by-mail elections.


*Voter Guides and Information*Stop by the free literature area at
convention to pick up the revised *Guide for Blind and Low vision Voters*.
This guide explains the rights of blind voters, why it is important to
vote, how accessible voting machines work, and provides a list of
resources. Other voting related guides that will be available in free
literature include *The Blind Voter Registration Drive Guide*, and the *Blind
Poll Worker Recruitment* flyer. All voting information Is available in
English and Spanish, Braille and large print.

Get empowered at the NFB National Convention and then exercise your right
to vote!
