San Antonio is planning to use five video remote interpreting consoles recently purchased from just DeafLink (based in the city) to help deaf voters. The equipment will be placed at early voting locations. Early voting is allowed in Texas between October 20th and October 31st. Using a two-way video screen, deaf voters will be able to communicate with election officials with the help of a sign language interpreter. About 115,000 people in the San Antonio San Antonio area are either deaf or hard-of-hearing population.
