Greetings, all who can stop by should do so and give input on the voting machines.  This is our chance to tell them what we want for the voting season ahead.

Hello,

 

Please share this with your mail lists.

 

The Secretary of State's Elections Division, in partnership with the Voter Accessibility, Independence and Privacy Task Force and The Legal Center are hosting an accessible voting machine event on Tuesday, May 25 at the Secretary of State's Office.  This event is specifically for people with disabilities to try out the machines.

 

All four of the accessible voting systems certified for use in Colorado will be available for folks to look at and vote on using sample ballots.  These voting machines will be provided by the counties using them for their elections.  I believe that the counties assisting us are Adams, Jefferson, Arapahoe and either Douglas or Boulder.  Each of these counties uses a different voting equipment vendor.  There will be county elections staff available to demonstrate the voting machines and answer questions.  This is set up as an "open house" for your convenience.

 

What: Accessible Voting Machine Demonstration

When: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 from 10am-3pm

Where:1700 Broadway, 3rd floor, Aspen Room, Denver

 

Please contact Faith Gross (fgross at thelegalcenter.org) if you have any questions.  It would also be helpful for planning purposes, but not required, if you could let us know if you plan to attend.

 

Thank you,

 

Faith Gross
