Linking Employment, Abilities and Potential (LEAP)

The results are in! The results of the final question state that 26% of the 270 respondents have not been allowed a private, unassisted ballot during the voting process. Obstacles included problems with the voting machines and also with the knowledge and sometimes the attitudes of the poll workers.
