accessibility in voting

Accessibility in voting means ensuring that all eligible voters can participate in elections without unnecessary barriers. This includes providing things like accessible polling places for people with disabilities, alternative voting methods such as mail-in ballots or online options, language assistance for non-English speakers, and clear information about the voting process. The goal is to make sure everyone, regardless of physical, cognitive, or language differences, has an equal opportunity to cast their vote and have their voice heard. It’s about removing obstacles so democracy truly represents everyone.
