Subj: Voter Accessibility Task Force Update


The first meeting of the Voter Accessibility Task  Force was a very 
positive start. Attached to this email is the power point  presentation and a fact 
sheet on Accessible Voting Solutions for Floridians.  For those unable to 
attend the meeting this will help you better understand  where we are heading 
with an alternative voting solution for voters with  disabilities. 
 
What's next? We agreed that we would have a meeting  this Fall to review 
final implementation of the eLect Today voting  alternative. The main task 
that we want members of the Task Force to  accomplish is to recruit voters from 
within your organization(s) and within  the disability community to sign-up 
for this alternative method of voting  during the three elections in 2012. 
For our next meeting we are going to  create a special demo ballot that will 
be sent to you electrically, will  mail you your password, ask you to vote 
the ballot and mail it  back in the postage paid envelope we will send you. 
At the meeting we  will announce the results and discuss feedback on the 
process. Then we'll  load you up with details on how a person signs up to use 
this alternative  method of voting in 2012.
 
We  still do not know the exact date for the Florida Presidential 
Preference  Primary or the Primary Election. Will keep you posted on what the  
Legislature does or doesn't do.
 
Please save October 11th for this next Task Force  Meeting. The Task Force 
Meeting will be in conjunction with the monthly  meeting of the County ADA 
Advisor Board. Samme Ripley and I are still  discussing what time to meet. We 
are looking at either 1 to 3 PM  (traditional meeting time of the ADA 
Advisory Board), or 4:30 to 6:30 PM  (after work but before getting home) or 6:30 
to 8:30 PM (like our first  meeting). If you have an opinion or choice on 
time, feel free to email me  with your choice.
 
Thanks you for all your support, input, and  feedback. Will email you a 
meeting reminder with specifics closer to the  meeting date.
 
Sincerely,
 
Bill Cowles
Orange County Supervisor of  Elections
