Stay safe and vote next Tuesday! Remember to any document barriers you experience with time, place, etc.

We need your help to learn more about your voting experience for the 2016 Election.

On Election Day, if you notice anything that might be a barrier to someone using a mobility device, a visual impairment, or any other disability, please complete the survey with a short summary of the problem. Please share this survey with other Virginia voters. The more data we collect the more valuable our results will be.

The survey is available here: http://bit.ly/dLCVSurvey. The survey should take less than one minute to complete.
