Hello, First, in my opinion, a totally blind person can not function as election observer. For those, who differ with me on this, sorry for bothering you. Secondly, again in my opinion, if he has been given such a responsibility, he should try to sor it out unofficially at first by personal means by convincing the concerned officials that he may be excused from such a responsibility, next if it does not work out, he may contest that electoral observation is not a part of job profile of a given post and so, he is not dutybound to perform it.

One of my friend who is working with one central public sector undertaking has been assigned the election duty as observer by the state government. He is disabled person and having the disability of visual impairment. In these circumstances, I would like to know that can state government assign such duty to the disabled person who is totally blind. If yes, how can this duty be performed by such persons? If not, what remedies the concerned person has in the eyes of the law? In this connection, I am requesting you to kindly advise me in this matter.
