evidence: This is the second report in our series on voter accessibility in 2024, a year when a record number of voters will head to the polls, with at least 64 countries, representing about half the global population, holding national elections. [...] EVM access is just one of the barriers to voting for people with disabilities in India – and not just for wheelchair users but blind people, too. To vote independently, blind Braille users refer to the Braille ballot sheets available at polling booths for the names and party symbols of the candidates. This information should be in the same order as on the EVM, to enable a blind person to easily locate the candidate on the EVM. "Sometimes, when the Braille ballot sheets and the EVM don’t follow the same order, EVMs become inaccessible to us blind users," says Divya Pandey, who lives in the central Indian city of Bhilai. [...] Disability Rights Alliance regularly tweets about election accessibility in India as #Votability.
