The National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute needs
feedback from blind and low vision voters, who voted in the 2010
midterm election, on their experience using accessible voting
systems.  Feedback on the following is needed:<?xml:namespace prefix
= o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

             Was the accessible voting system up and running when you arrived?

             Did the poll workers know how to operate the accessible
voting system?

             Did you have any problems voting with the accessible
voting system?

             Were you able to cast your vote privately and independently?



This information will be provided to a voting work group of state
election officials and protection and advocacy system personnel that
has been established by the NFB under its 2010-2011 HAVA grant from
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.  If you are blind
or have low vision and have used an accessible voting system in the
2010 midterm election, please send an e-mail describing your
experience, the city or county and state where you voted, and the
type of accessible voting system used (if known) to Lou Ann Blake,
NFB Jernigan Institute, at
