Hi All, I along with my husband who is also VI practiced our right to vote at Noida. The experience was smooth accept for, we had to ask for the list of candidates in braille. We waited for few minutes but they could not find it. However, it came after we had already voted. Therefore, we suggested them to keep that braille list ready in case required for the day. One of them also gave me the orientation of the EVM with the code matching the symbol.

Subject: [AI] Voting experience yesterday Friends Yesterday, I along with my elder brother who is also blind, went to cast our valuable vote with my wife accompanying us. To begin with, the clerk at booth greeted us with affront question to my wife, “Can they cast vote or you will caste instead? However, before I could recover from this momentous attack on our ability and direct substitutive approach taken by the representative of the biggest democracy, the booth-in-charge walked upto us and handled the situation himself. From Then onwards, it was smooth process with braille list and braille labelling on the EVM. However, no attempts were made to counsel the concerned clerk, at least not in our presence. सादर / With thanks & Regards राजेश आसुदानी Rajesh Asudani सहायक महाप्रबन्धक AGM बाजार आसूचना ईकाई MIU भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक Reserve Bank of India नागपुर Nagpur 0712 2806846 President VIBEWA Co-Moderator VIB-India A-pilll = Action coupled with Positivity, Interest, Love, Logic and laughter. ________________________________ Caution: The Reserve Bank of India never sends mails, SMSs or makes calls asking for personal information such as your bank account details, passwords, etc. It never keeps or offers funds to anyone.
