[NFBOK-Talk] Accessible voting: Your experiences requested

[Jeannie Massay]

Dear Fellow Federationists,

The US Election Assistance Commission (EAC) wants to hear from blind, low
vision, and other voters with disabilities about their voting experience as
part of their work to update voting system guidelines. As part of its effort
to learn about the experience of voters with disabilities, the EAC held a
public hearing on accessible voting on April 27, 2016, to hear from voters
with disabilities. You can make your voting experience part of the official
hearing transcript by emailing your voting story to listen at eac.gov
<mailto:listen at eac.gov>  by Wednesday, May 11, 2016. Help improve voting
accessibility by telling your personal voting story to the EAC! Thank you!

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
 
Make a gift <https://nfb.org/make-gift>  to the National Federation of the
Blind and help ensure all blind Americans live the lives they want.
