 <title>Voters With Disabilities: Access to Polling Places and Alternative Voting Methods</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>Federal law requires that disabled persons have access to polling
places on election day. State political subdivisions must ensure 
that polling places used in federal elections are accessible.	 
Exceptions are allowed if all potential polling places have been 
surveyed, no accessible place is available, and the political	 
subdivision cannot make one temporarily accessible. In these	 
cases, disabled voters must either be reassigned to an accessible
polling place or provided another means for voting on election	 
day. All states have provisions that address voting by people	 
with disabilities, but these provisions vary greatly. All states 
provide for one or more alternative voting methods or		 
accommodations that may facilitate voting by people with	 
disabilities. States and localities have made several efforts to 
improve voting accessibility for the disabled, such as modifying 
poling places, acquiring new voting equipment, and expanding	 
voting options. Nevertheless, state and county election officials
GAO surveyed cited various challenges to improving access.</abstract>
