We can never say it enough #EveryVoteMatters

You can also call 206-296-VOTE or 1-800-448-4881. 

B-b-but, what's an "accessible voting center?"

I am so glad someone asked!

An accessible voting center has voting machines, including voting machines equipped so that blind, low vision, print disabled, or people with other disabilities have the same ability to vote privately and independently as everyone else who votes by mail takes for granted.

You mean I have to leave my house to use accessible voting technology. 

Yup. In  WA you do. In WA people serving in the military or living overseas have access to secure online voting. Other states are further along that WA about provided this access to people with disabilities.

But look!

There is help about transportation costs at least for some voters!

Adventures of RantWoman: Attention Blind and Low vision voters in WA: DO YOU NEED A RIDE to a voting center to use accessible voting options

The important thing is to have a plan and VOTE.

And any readers who think RantWoman is probably just doing typical partisan blather, as co-chair of the WA Council of the Blind Advocacy Committee, RantWoman knows in the soul of her being that ALL voters with disabilities need access to secure, PRIVATE online voting.

So just VOTE.
