Make Your Vote Count

Voting is a fundamental right for citizens of a democratic society.

It should also be private unless the voter chooses to share who he or she votes for.

For the disabled the act of casting a ballot and/or keeping it private is not always a given.

Here is an article about the recent elections in Canada, and some contrasting information on how New Zealanders vote.

Note: the article from the Canadian Press is written by a blind journalist though it isn’t stated in the article.
