Do postal vote problem solved. It will involve trusting someone, but what doesn't in this situation.

Where I live, they have an option for headphones and you turn a large button to select For or Against then hit the large green button which says enter. The text reads it to you. Before that was a option, I would simply have one of the ladies read it for me if needed and then I would tell her for or against, she would mark it for me at the polling station.

I went to vote in my country's federal election recently. They had Braille instructions to read which listed the parties and candidates for the ridings in a numerical order, and then I went behind a screen and drew on a Braille stencil next to the number I wanted, filling the box in completely.

I have to go into the social security office with my ID and ballot and get a lady to read the entire thing to me and fill in the correct bubbles. Good news is once I sign it they send it in from there for free so I don’t have to buy stamps

I just wish there was like an online version in my state so I could use my screen reader

It depends on the state. Each state and each county has a different system. I've filled out a paper ballot at the polling place, used voting machines of varying accessibility and paper ballots I put in a drop box. If your state has a system that's not user friendly you can request to vote by mail, which would be less stressful and perhaps easier.

I live in a vote-by-mail State. A friend of mine usually brings their ballot over and we do both at the same time.

HI, voting is not difficult. All voting poles are accessible in one way or another. The issue is that people working at the voting place don't know how to use the equipment or they don't know that they offer the accessible options.

Federal Law (the VRA) says that a blind person can take the person of their choice to help them vote.

It depends on what the laws are like where you're registered. In my state. you're allowed to have someone of your choice assist you if you need help voting, so my husband just helps me.

In my state when you register you can mark that you need assistance to vote. My polling place is within walking distance so it is easy to get to. I have also voted in the same place for 10+ years so I know all of the poll workers and they know me. They know I have marked needing assistance. This means that you can bring someone of your choice in the voting booth with you. If you don't have any one you can have one of the volunteers come in with you and they read the ballot for you. They don't, and shouldn't, tell you what to do or what to choose, if they do you can complain. Our voting booths used to be able to be lowered so that it is closer. Now we have new voting machines which allow you to change the font size as well as the contrast. I think they may also have sound so that the ballot is read to you, but I don't know anything about that or how it works. My parents instilled me the importance of voting and I do it without fail.

It depends on where you live, and how lucky you are if the polling station you go to has the Braille ballot, at least in Canada.
