Facilities for voters with visual impairments

For the first time in Moldova, polling place No. 151 in Chisinau is testing a new voting procedure intended for persons with visual impairments. The polling booths are equipped with a special monitor that considerably magnifies the image of the ballot. Special envelopes with ballots inside enable the blind voters to find the candidates for whom they want to vote and put the stamp. “This is a novelty that facilitates the voting procedure for these persons,” Viorica Cucuetu, the head of the electoral bureau of the polling place No. 151 set up at the Radio House, stated for Info-Prim Neo. Some of the voters said they are satisfied with the equipment. Others preferred to vote assisted by a third person, as the previous years. Valentina, 62, said she could easier vote owing to the monitor that magnifies the image. As many as 150 voters have marked their ballots there by 10.00. The CEC has distributed 2,489 ballots to this polling place. 1,750 of them are in the official language, while the others in Russian.
