DRW is looking for disabled advocates who use accessible voting units (AVUs) to help us survey the accessibility of voting centers in counties with upcoming elections this February 11.  Not every jurisdiction has a special February election.  This is part of
 a larger project to survey the accessibility of voting centers across the state so there will be more opportunities to participate throughout the year.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
 </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
Each county provides AVUs to disabled voters who cannot independently vote with standard mail-in ballots.  These devices have a variety of accessibility options including audio, large font, color contrast, touch screen and tactile input to assist voters in
 marking a ballot. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">
If you use or are interested in using AVUs to vote and would like to help us understand how easy they are for the community to access, please reach out to Cecelia at 425-359-5256 or <a href="mailto:ceceliab@dr-wa.org" target="_blank">ceceliab@dr-wa.org</a></p>
