Dear George. As per the guidelines of election commission all urban and semi urban centres will have woden ramps. so also there will be a separte queue for disabled voters and the electronic voting machine will have Braille stickers affixed next to the ballot button. A list of candidates also will be provided in Braille in the sequence of the E.V.N.
The national association for the blind has been entrusted the responsibility to print Braille stickers and the list of candidates for state of Maharashtra and other states. All India confederation of the blind is going to print Braille material for northern states. Nab has launched an awareness campaign amongst the blind for motivating them to exercise the right of franchise independently. We are duty bound to spread the word amongst our friends and contacts aboute these positive measures adopted by the election commission of India. Amities.
