The purpose of the Election Day Accessibility Checklist is to quickly assess whether or not the polling place has barriers for people with disabilities on Election Day. This checklist does not identify all barriers that a person may face at the polls. Answering positively to the checklist does not mean a polling site is in compliance with such law as the ADA. If barriers are identified the municipal clerk should be notified so the barrier can be addressed as soon as possible. Many barriers can be easily addressed on Election Day.
