Register to vote with Be My Eyes

 

Read it online or as a plain text.

Hello, 

As blind and low-vision people, we are underestimated and underrepresented every day of our lives. Voting in an election is our chance to change that. We may only turn out a few million strong, but in an election, that can make a big difference. 

That’s why, for the 2022 midterm election, Be My Eyes and Vote.org are teaming up again – to make sure that for any American with a visual impairment, the process of registering and preparing to vote is as clear and accessible as possible. 

You can now connect with volunteers who can help you use Vote.org tools through Be My Eyes - just open the Be My Eyes app, enter the Specialized Help menu and select Vote.org from the list of available organizations (in the “Civic Engagement” category) or click this link on your phone with Be My Eyes installed and go directly to Vote.org's profile. IIt’s really that simple! Starting today, Vote.org volunteers will be open to take your calls through Be My Eyes Monday through Friday 12pm to 4pm ET. 

Via the Be My Eyes app, Vote.org’s tools will help blind voters check if they are registered to vote, guide them through registering if they are not already, and provide information about voting by mail. In a time where social distancing is still a huge part of daily lives for all Americans, it’s more important than ever that everyone has a way to access all necessary information, to make sure that they are motivated and confident about voting come November. 

Registration deadlines vary state-by-state, so be sure to reach out to Vote.org to get everything you need to make this the most accessible voting year yet!

Best, 
Hans Jørgen Wiberg, founder, Be My Eyes
