ADA Live! Radio Show - Episode 6: Voting Accessibility

WADA “ADA Live!” is a monthly internet-based radio talk show for individuals interested in learning more about their rights and responsibilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  The show airs on the first Wednesday of each month from 1:00 – 1:30 p.m. EST and 12 Noon – 12:30 p.m. CST.  During each live show, real-time captioning is available. You can submit your questions and connect to each show through www.adalive.org.

Mark your calendar and join this month’s informative discussion on Voting Accessibility on Wednesday - March 5, 2014 from 1:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. (Eastern). Voting is a fundamental right. In 2002, President George W. Bush signed into law the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). This legislation is aimed at improving the general election process and sets forth new requirements for state election officials to follow. This episode will focus on the requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and HAVA to make polling places accessible to people with disabilities. We will discuss accessible registration, effective communication, and voting aids for people with disabilities.

SPEAKER:  Nancy Duncan, disability consultant and former Southeast ADA Center Network Administrator for state of Georgia
