Re: [AI] My voting experience

Re: [AI] My voting experience
Friends, if I can place my query in this thread, Is there any visually impaired/blind on the AI list; who also exercised right to vote in the very First General Elections held 1951? Can we know who was the first blind voter of India? Will RTI fetch answers from Election Commission?

Re: [AI] My voting experience
What I strongly think VI voters should anyway exercise their votes even if transport facility is not provided to them. Earlier when transport facility was not being provided, people with disabilities still used to cast their votes. In my humble opinion, it is not correct to refrain from casting the vote just because we are unable to avail the transport or any other said facility. yes, giving the voting rights to people residing in other states should be inntroduced by an online mechanism indeed.

Re: [AI] My voting experience
Hi, I too, had cast my vote yesterday and the overall experience was fine. Now, let me tell you that on the polling booth 112 in MD Public school in Sant Nagar Burari, at first they didn't have any knowledge on how to assist a visually impaired person but since I was with my wife, I didn't need much of assistance. However, when I reached on the polling booth and asked for the candidates list, they told me that they don't have the list in Braille and gave the printed one instead. When I told them that I would need to report this to EC, one of the senior person came and requested me to wait for couple of minutes and with in two minutes the person was back with the list. Rest of the process was very smooth. Amit ji, we were not asked to keep our mobiles away and in fact, I made a call to my boss from right within the polling booth when they said they don't have the list in Braille.

Re: [AI] My voting experience
Dear Arif, PWD app was recently introduced and like other applications, this app also may have some issues. If the concerned team does not react from that end, we can always follow up with them. Anyways, I hope they will address the issues in future if we apprise them about where they are lacking behind.

Re: [AI] My voting experience
Even I had a smooth experience in a whole process of casting my vote at booth number 76, School Block, Shakarpur east Delhi constituency. I reached to the polling station around 10:00 AM yesterday. first of all I was asked to submit my mobile phone with someone outside as they didn't have facility to secure the devices. I submited my mobile to one of my known shop keeper outside and then again entered to the booth. A volunteer lady asked my escort to straightaway move towards the booth without staying in any queue. No offficial asked me whether I need a Braille list. Even I didn't ask for Braille list this time. This entire process of exercising my vote took around 20-25 minutes as the polling station was just at the walking distance of 5 minutes from my residence. After reading so many experiences of visually impaird voters, it seems most of the things are nicely setteld by the Election Commition or even the Government of India from accessibility point of view.

[AI] My voting experience.
Dear list members, Voting for Lokasabha took place in Maharashtra, Thane district, Dombivali on 29th Apr. My name was in Jondhale high school Dombivali (w). Looking to the advertisement done about facilities for physically challenged I decided to see for myself. I had a mixed experience. Even after registering on pwd app on mobile as challenged I never got any confirmation message whether the registration was successful or not. While those do not even register were contacted for vehicle pick up facility but I did not get any such call. On going to the booth I did not see any special facility except that I was not required to stand in queue. I was given a seat as my daughter who accompanied me had to finish her voting. On enterring the booth my daughter was asked if she was accompanying me for voting. In tthat case she was required to fill up a form. I (though was not addressed directly) told I just need someone to show me the place and that any volunteer will also do. But they did not have any such facility it seemed. I got a list of contestants in braille. But apart from these there was no change. I feel while imparting training to the staff supposed to work on booths basic training to handle challenged such as addressing them directly should be imparted. Sincerely, C. B.

[AI] my voting experience
Hi all, I cast my vote about an hour ago. It was a very positive experience. The polling station was one of the schools situated at an eight minutes walk from my house. The moment the presiding officer saw me, she realized that I was blind and would need special treatment. She initiated the requisite process which involved handing me a Braille sheet and my dad, who was my escort filling out a few forms. The Braille sheet had numbers running along its left side. After the numbers, were the names of the candidates along with their parties. In some places, these names wrapped to the second line. This threw me off initially. Once I read the sheet, I was moved on to the next counter. Here, I had to sign the voters register and produce a photo ID. note: I do not have a voters ID card. I then moved on to the machine itself which was at one end of the room. There was another officer who pressed a button and then I was told to cast my vote. The Braille strip on the voting machine was written in a manner that the actual numbers of the parties had to be read from top to bottom. Be warned, this can get a little confusing. Once I had found the right number, I moved my finger up to the requisite button and pressed it. I got a confirmation beep and that was that. Other notes: 1. This polling station had a voter assistance booth. This was outside the main station. Since polling station was in the school, the booth was just inside the main gate. 2. Mobile phones are not allowed in the actual polling area. It is best that you leave them behind.
