With the UK General Election coming up on Thursday 4 July 2024, here on RNIB Connect Radio we thought it would be a good time to see how accessible voting might be in other countries around the world for blind and partially sighted people.
Chris Danielsen, Director of Public Relations for the National Federation of the Blind in America joins RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey to talk about the accessibility of voting in America for blind and partially sighted people.
Looking at the whole process of voting for blind and partially sighted people, from receiving your voting card, getting to the polling station, voting at the polling station and how accessible that experience might be, other forms of voting in America, the accessibility of political party manifestos and other campaign material plus whether there are more accessible and digital ways of voting for blind and partially sighted people.
And if you would like to help make sight loss a priority for the next UK Government ask your local candidates to become an RNIB Champion if elected. To contact your candidates fill out the simple form here: https://rnib.in/GEConnectR
