Geeta in Mumbai the machines are not labelled but you get a list of candidates in braille which helps you choose the number of the candidate that you want to vote for and then you can press the button on the machine. I am not very sure but I have heard that either all the cases or atleast the Bombay case regarding participation in the elections by the disabled have been referred to Bombay High Court so I am forwarding your comments to the lawyer handling the matter and Suhas and Ketan can take it up.
