The National Council for Independent Living (NCIL) is conducting a voting survey to gather statistics on voting experiences for persons with disabilities.

The Voting Rights Working Group which is part of the ADA/Civil Rights Subcommittee of NCIL wants to know what voting is like for you in your area of the country. Would you share your experience with us?

NCIL is gathering this information to address pending federal voter reform legislation that affects persons with disabilities.  Specifically, the Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act of 2007 (HR 811) would require that voting technology produce an auditable trail and be accessible and private for disabled voters.  The results of this survey will assist NCIL in addressing certain provision of this bill.
