No. of Paragraph 40

When Detroit Disability Power volunteers audited the cityโ€™s polling places for accessibility compliance in 2022, they found something troubling. They looked at four categories of accessibility required by lawโ€”accessible parking, accessible entrances, wheelchair-height voting booths, and accessible voting machinesโ€”and found that only 12% of the cityโ€™s polling places offered all four.ย 

But that percentage doesnโ€™t tell the whole story: Even when polling places had wheelchair-height voting booths, they often werenโ€™t private. And when they had accessible voting machines, staff werenโ€™t always trained in how to use them. When a quick trip to the polls becomes a 45-minute back-and-forth between staff members figuring out which buttons to press and cords to plug in, many disabled voters may decide that voting is simply not worth the hassle.

This isnโ€™t just a Detroit issue, and this isnโ€™t just a โ€œdisability issue.โ€ This is a democracy issue. And itโ€™s happening across the country.

For too long, weโ€™ve seen issues of accessibility sidelined in voting-rights advocacy, or, worse, used in bad faith to shut down polling places that are already too few and far between.ย
