A First Step to Voting
Equality...Access to the Ballot
A recent study
found 67% of polling places in America are inaccessible. A
lack of physical access prevents as many as five million voters from
getting in the door and exercising their civil rights.
Assistive voting technology is improving the process, but election
officials still need to address physical barriers at voting
locations.
