Last time I voted at my local precinct, they had no such
accessibility options available. I had to grab 2 polling place
members (one demo, the other rep) and have one of them mark the
sheet while the other witnessed. they would read me the various
points on the ballot and I would indicate what i wanted marked. its
worked well, but took 2 people off the line.
so far, I have been unable to find a ballot template that would
allow me to mark the appropriate place on the ballot without
assistance.

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).
Actually, they are.
Every poling place (at least in Maricopa County) has at least one
voting
machine that has headphones, has braille ballots, large-type,
touch-screen voting.....and have had for about 4 years or so, if
memory
serves......I am not sure about the other Counties - you would
have to
check with them. I do, however, think that they are mandated, by
law, to provide them for those who need them.
