To help ensure that blind and low vision voters are not denied this right, the National Federation of the Blind will host an Election Day hotline that blind and visually impaired voters, poll workers, and voting rights advocates can call when problems with accessible voting technology or other barriers are preventing a blind voter from casting a private and independent ballot.<br> <br>The hotline will be available on November 8, 2016, by calling 1-877-632-1940 from 7 a.m. EST to 7 p.m. PST. Individuals who have experience in the operation of accessible voting technology will be manning the hotline to provide assistance to blind voters, election officials, and voting rights advocates. <br> <br>Following the November 8th elections, the NFB will conduct an online survey to determine the experience of blind voters. A link to the online survey will be available from the NFB home page following the election.<br> <br>Questions about the blind voter hotline or the blind voter survey may be directed to Charles Brown by e-mail at <a href="mailto:cbrown@nfb.org">cbrown@nfb.org</a> or by phone at 410-659-9314, extension 2224; or Lou Ann Blake, by e-mail at <a href="mailto:lblake@nfb.org">lblake@nfb.org</a> or by phone at 410-659-9314, extension 2221. <br> <br>Be sure to make your voice heard by exercising your right to vote!<br> <span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Cambria",serif'>Jeannie M.
