Special EVMs for visually impaired-Chandigarh-Cities-The Times of India

Special EVMs for visually impaired-Chandigarh-Cities-The Times of India:

Visually impaired residents of the city would now be able to cast their votes without anybody’s assistance in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The election wing of the UT administration is going to introduce special electronic voting machines (EVMs) for blind voters of the city. These machines would be equipped with Braille signage features on them, so that blind voters can cast their votes with the help of Braille. Earlier, these voters used to engage attendants for casting votes.

The development came following directions from the election commission of India to the UT administration a few days back in this regard.
