Help ADAP by Checking the Accessibility of Your Polling Place
Under ADAP’s PAVA program, ADAP works to ensure persons with disabilities have equal access to the voting process. You can assist ADAP in improving access to the voting process by completing a short polling place accessibility survey when you go vote at your polling place this summer and fall. The survey contains questions regarding the accessible features of your polling site including parking, entrance, path of travel, and the voting process itself. ADAP will review all accessibility surveys that it receives in an effort to identify any common barriers that limit a person’s access to vote. Using the surveys, ADAP may also contact the appropriate election officials to explain the existing barriers to the voting process for persons with disabilities and offer solutions to remove the barriers.
If you are interested in assisting ADAP by completing an accessibility survey for your polling site, please print a copy of the survey from the spotlight section of ADAP’s website (www.adap.net), complete the survey when you go to vote on election day, and return the form to ADAP by mail or fax. By completing a polling site survey, you will assist ADAP in its goal of ensuring every person has the ability to exercise the right to vote.
