<h1><b>Activities and Information at the NFB 2018 National Convention to
Empower Blind, Low Vision, and Deaf-Blind Voters</b></h1> <br><br>
<h2><b>Accessible Vote-By-Mail Workshop</b></h2>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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br><br>
<h2><b>Voter Guides and Information</b></h2>Stop by the free literature
area at convention to pick up the revised <i>Guide for Blind and Low
vision Voters</i>. 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 <i>The Blind Voter Registration Drive Guide</i>,
and the <i>Blind Poll Worker Recruitment</i> flyer. All voting
information Is available in English and Spanish, Braille and large
print.<br>
<br>
Get empowered at the NFB National Convention and then exercise your right
to vote!<br>
