Join the U.S. Access Board and the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission (EAC) for a webinar on voting accessibility. The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) created the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission and the right for voters with disabilities to mark, cast and verify their ballots privately and independently. This webinar will cover data related to polling place accessibility during the 2024 election, including election-supporting technologies. Presenters will discuss standards related to polling place accessibility such as the Voluntary Voting Systems Guidelines (VVSG) and draft standards developed by the EAC’s Election Supporting Technology Evaluation Program. Additionally, presenters will demonstrate EAC accessibility web tools, research, and checklists designed to ensure polling place accessibility.
