This seems to be the experience in Maharashtra. Anybody had any problems?
What happened in Haryana?

Friends
Yesterday, I had positive experience about accessible elections for VI.
The list of candidates along with their serial number, name, party name
and symbol in Braille was hung for VI to read.
All the buttons on the EVM were labeled, unlike last elections when only
half of the buttons contained the labels.
However, they insisted on filling up the form for escort which was done
in the past, but we succeeded in convincing them we were casting our vote
totally independently and so no need for such a form.
Finally, due to presence of journalist accompanying us, and good sense of
a few poll employees, they were convinced about non requirement of the
form.
Accessibility is well covered in a few local dailies.
