I am Munna Lal Bharti from Mirzapur district, Uttar Pradesh, speaking with you. We are now connected one hundred percent blind directly to the capital of our country, New Delhi. Joining us is Chhotu ji—yes, his name really is Chhotu. Thank you very much, sir, for openly asking questions on our platform “Hamari Vani.” You are being given answers in a comfortable manner. Although I have never voted myself, I can certainly share my experience. Actually, visually impaired persons vote in the same way as normal persons do. Now, the question is—what kind of voting are you talking about? There are two types of voting, friends. First, voting through a ballot paper, and second, voting through an EVM (Electronic Voting Machine). Which type of voting are you referring to? Do you want to vote by pressing a button on a machine (EVM), or by stamping a paper ballot? Ballot paper voting is usually used for small-level elections. For example, the election for Gram Pradhan (village head), which is coming in 2027. Every place has its own rules and regulations. According to those rules, you can go and vote. For that, certain documents are required—such as a Voter ID card, or your name should be present in the voter list. You must pay attention to all these things beforehand and understand what is right and what is wrong. Now, let us talk about EVM voting. Suppose it is a Lok Sabha or Vidhan Sabha election. You will carry all your documents with you—such as Aadhaar card, PAN card, Voter ID card, and the disability certificate (which in Hindi we call Viklangta Praman Patra). When you reach your polling booth, the staff and security personnel posted there will guide you properly. They will clearly explain how many buttons there are and which button you need to press. As soon as you press the button, a beep sound will occur. Once you hear the sound, you must release the button. Do not keep pressing it. Just press and release. Your vote will be successfully recorded. It is such a simple process, sir. For more information, you can call the Election Voter Helpline at 1001111950. Call this number, and you can ask all your questions there—especially regarding what arrangements and methods are available for visually impaired voters. They are there specifically to provide this information. This number is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can call anytime, from anywhere. There is no problem at all, and you will be given complete information. Best wishes.

Hello, my name is Saraj Kumar from Lakhimpur Kheri district, Uttar Pradesh, and I am 100% visually impaired.

Makar Sankranti wishes.
So, one of our associates with us is Mr. Deepak Yadav ji. You have also recorded your mobile number for a small question, and sir, we highly respect your mobile number and we respect you as well. A very warm welcome to you for joining this sacred and pure platform of our voice. A question has come in from you: “If anyone knows the contact number of Saksham, please let us know.” For this, you can call our national contact number. Sir, we may not be able to call personally, but yes, we do try to provide information on Vaani. The number is 011-42411015 (Zero One One Four Two Four One One Zero One Five) You can call this number, sir, and you will be able to talk to Saksham’s advisor there. This is the same Saksham organization located in Delhi, which works for blind people. That is, the entire sighted society can also go there and purchase materials. People often ask questions like: Where can we get talking watches? Where can we get Braille watches? Where can we get books to learn skills? Where can we get assistive devices for the visually impaired? All such information and materials are available there. You can also find many devices that work as assistive tools for the visually impaired, such as smart canes, etc. You can go there and obtain all this information and material. But everything is available for purchase—nothing is free. So, if you are going with the expectation of getting things for free, then please do not go. Thank you.
Appreciation for HV on Louis Braille activity.
