Accessibility for Maryland's Voters Who are Blind, Disabled, and Speak Languages Other than English

TrueVoteMD fully supports an accessible, voter verifiable paper audit trail for all of Maryland’s voters, including those who are blind and partially sighted, as well as those who speak languages other than English. We acknowledge and respect the right of people with disabilities to cast a private, unassisted vote. We also believe that they, as well as those who speak alternative languages, deserve the same right as others to verify that the permanent record of their ballot correctly reflects their intent and that it will be preserved for future audit and recount purposes.
