[NFBSea] Today: Opportunity to practice vote on the Democracy Live OmniBallot plus Q & A with Democracy Live

[Marci Carpenter]

FYI this is the accessible online ballot marking system currently in use in our state.

> From Lou Ann Blake:

> Did you know that you may have access to an accessible way to mark an absentee ballot privately and independently for the upcoming November general election? The States of Washington, Colorado, Vermont, and the District of Columbia will make the Democracy Live OmniBallot available to voters with disabilities as the accessible absentee ballot marking system for the upcoming November general elections. In addition, many counties in California, as well as, Miami-Dade, Orange, Pinellas, Nassau and Volusia counties in Florida, and New York City will also be making the Democracy Live OmniBallot available to voters with disabilities in November.
