Got a link to apply with? I may have to make a point with the election system in this state anyway. their current ballots aren't really accessible to the blind (I usually do the early voting mail in ballot). its that or I could make a standard template with holes in the right spots and braille to indicate some of the fields (like yes or no or choose one). I think the ballot would have to be a standard form as well so that each section has the same entries regardless of who is or isn't there. Something to take up with the state elections board.
