Australian Defence Force
For the first time, electors who are blind or have low vision were able to lodge an independent and secret vote at the 2007 federal election. It is estimated that there are about 300,000 Australians who are blind or have some kind of vision impairment.
Electronic Voting Trials
In its review of the 2004 election, the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters (JSCEM) recommended that electronically assisted voting be trialled at the next federal election for electors who are blind or have low vision, and that remote electronic voting be trialled for certain ADF personnel serving overseas. The Government supported these recommendations and the trials went ahead at the 2007 election.
