2004 ADA Checklist for Polling Places

Note: This checklist was based on the 1991 ADAAG, but has been updated as of 2016 to reflect the 2010 ADA Standards. See updated version here: https://www.corada.com/documents/2016-ada-checklist-for-polling-places/ada-checklist-for-polling-places

Typical Issues

The accessible voting area must be on an accessible route and have an accessible entrance and adequate circulation and maneuvering space for voters who use wheelchairs or scooters or who walk with mobility aids.

An accessible route must connect the accessible building entrance to the accessible voting area, which includes voter check-in and the location of the accessible voting machines. The survey should also identify any protruding objects (wall mounted or overhead) along the circulation route to voter check-in and the voting area.

2. Accessible door or doorway to voting area

3. Turning space at accessible voting machine
