NEWS: Disabled to Vote in Karnataka, India
People with disabilities in Karnataka, India, have now won the right to accessible polling locations in the upcoming May 10, 2008, assembly elections, Action Aid India has reported. All officials involved with the upcoming election have been alerted to the requirement to install ramps and Braille voting booths so that people with mobility and vision impairments will be able to vote.
Delegates, including people who use wheelchairs or have vision impairments, visited political party officies to raise demands for access to voting polls. However, the offices themselves were not accessible to the delegates because they had no ramps.

Are you working to achieve voting rights for disabled people in your own country? If so, you might wish to review a letter written to Chief Electoral Officers in India (PDF format, 2.29 Mb) last fall as part of the campaign to advocate for more accessible voting locations; unfortunately, the second part of the PDF file seems to be an image, which may be inaccessible to people using screen readers:
