Hail the braille
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : A large number of visually impaired voters in Kerala are hoping to exercise their franchise independently this year, leveraging ballot papers in braille and braille-enabled electronic voting machines (EVMs).
Though the Election Commission had initiated the provision during the 2016 assembly election, most visually impaired voters continued to rely on assistance. Over time, however, there has been an increasing number of visually impaired voters who seek to vote autonomously, according to Kerala Federation of the Blind (KFB).
