Bind people can vote confidently
A variation to the ballot
used in Ontario provincial
elections which will enable
blind people to vote without
special assistance has been
announced by Roderick
Lewis, Q.C., Chief Election
Officer for the Province of
Ontario.
"We believe this will make
Ontario the first juridiction
in Canada where a blind
voter will beabieto mark his
or her ballot, confidentially,
and confidently, without the
aid of a sighted person," said
Mr. Lewis. "There are about
11,000 Ontario residents of
voting ageregistered with
the Candaian National
Institute for the Blind and
probably many other
thousands with visual im-
pairments who will find this
ballot helpful.
"The basic format of the
ballot will not change"
stated Mr. Lewis, "and no
amendment will be required
to election legislation."
Ballots used in Ontario
provincial elections are
printed in black with each -
candidate's name shown in
white. A white circle to the
right of the candidate's
name is used by the voter to
mark his or her choice.
The change consists of a
small notch cut into the top
edge at the upper righthand
corner, Other notches will be
cut beside each white circle
down the right side of the
ballot. The upper right hand
notch will enable a blind
person to align the ballot
face up with the circles on
the right. The voter will then
slide a finger down the right
side of the ballot, counting
the notches on that side.
On the Ontario ballot,
candidates' names are
printed in alphabetical order
and are numbered. A blind
voter may have a friend or
poll official read the names
in order, may obtain the
number and order of can-
didates from political party
workers or otherwise
identify the numerical
position of the candidate of
his or her choice without
disclosing a preference. The
voter counts the desired
number of notches and
marks an "x" in the white
. circle oposite the notch.
The idea which lead to
development of the notched
ballot was originated by
Mrs. Jean Young of
Mississauga, Ontario,
She wasassisted by her
husband, also blind, and
their sighted son who is
interested in politics and the
political process. Various..
types of templateswith slots
or raised lines are used by
blind people to assist in
signing cheques or other
documents. Mrs. Young's
original idea was to design a
template which could fit over
a ballot. The voter would
then be guided to the ap-
propriate white circle on the
ballot by holes punched in
the template.
There is a provision in the
election legislation allowing
people- handicapped by
blindness and unable to vote
without assistance to be
aided by a friend or the
deputy returning officer at
the poll. Such a voter is
required to swear that he or
she is unable to vote without
assitance, and the friend,
who is allowed to accompany
the voter through the voting
process, must swear to carry
out the wishes of the blind
elector and not to reveal his,
or her choice of candidate.
"This provision will not be
changed," says Mr. Lewis.
"Any blind voter choosing to
be aided by a friend when
voting may continue to do
so."
"We were fascinated by
Mrs. Young's idea," states
Robert Carter, Project .Co-
ordinator
o-
ordinator of the Ontario
Election Office. "We ex-
perimented with the tem-
plate design and found some
technical and administrative
problems. For example, in
the last Ontario general
election there was one riding
with seven candidates. In
our tests of the template,
some blind people found it
difficult to position a three -
candidate ballot in a tem-
plate with seven holes. To
avoid this difficulty, we
would have to provide
various templates with
different numbers of holes
and distribute the correct
ones to each constituency.
"The most important
consideration from the
viewpoint of blind votes was
the complete elimination of
special procedures or
assistance," said Mrs.
Carter. "Therefore we
created a refinement of Mrs.
Young's idea --notching the
ballot to correspond with
each candidate's name. This
means a blind voter can use
the same ballot as sighted
voters without the need for
special devices, like the
template. A group of blind
people from BOOST, an
organization to assist blind
persons, and the Canadian
National Institute for the
Blind tested both the tem-
plate and notched systems
and unanimously agreed the
notched ballot was better."
"The additional cost is less
than half a cent per ballot
and is small compared to the
importance of enabling
every blind voter to cast a
ballot with ease," according
to Mr. Lewis, "The secrecy
of an individual's vote is one
of the cornerstones of our
concept of a free democracy
and the notched ballot will
give this right to blind voters
for the first time."
"I am very pleased with
the choice of the notched
ballot," said Mrs. Young.
"At our testing session a
CNIB representative
described the new design as
a top notch ballot, and it
really is. I hope that other
jurisdictions will follow
Ontario's lead."
