Accessible Voting helps you find ways to cast your ballot. Your voting options depend on your state. They include mail voting, early voting, and voting in-person on Election Day.
One of the hardest things about voting with a disability is finding the information about voting options. At both the state and local level, ther are a variety of page titles, making it hard to search. Sometimes details like what accessible voting system is used is hidden in technical sections of the elections website.
We believe the difficulty of learning about accessible voting options contributes to the turnout gap between voters with disabilities and other voters. We aim to help by carefully gathering information and making it available for voters, advocates, and others to share and use.

Making the site accessible
To help us make this website a positive place for everyone, we have designed it so it will reformat to fit onto different size screens on laptops and mobile devices.
We also used the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 as guidance. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone, as well as identifying requirements for good practice in coding a site.
We’ve worked hard on the site and believe we’ve achieved our goal of Level AA accessibility. We monitor the website regularly to maintain this, but if you do find any problems, please get in touch at accessiblevoting@civicdesign.org
If you are reporting a problem, it would help us if you provide the information advised in the Web Accessibility Initiative’s page Contacting Organizations about Inaccessible Websites in your request.
