Elections Canada is looking for a firm to develop and maintain an app that will help blind and visually impaired voters verify their ballots independently.

Elections Canada’s tender for this job says they are looking for someone who can design, build, deliver and maintain a mobile application that will allow visually impaired and blind electors the ability to verify the mark on their own ballot.

These include large print and braille candidate lists that follow the order on an official ballot, tactile and braille voting templates, magnifiers to enlarge text on ballots, and modified voting screens that let in more light.
