§ 12280 Polling Place Accessibility Rules

• •Officials must think about accessibility when picking voting sites.
• •They have to follow the specific guidelines set by the Secretary of State.
• •The rule applies to all polling places, making them usable for people with physical handicaps.

A voter who uses a wheelchair wants to vote. The elections office must choose a school or community center that has ramps, wide doors, and accessible voting booths.

Because the law requires the voting site to meet the accessibility guidelines, the official has to pick a location that the wheelchair user can get into and move around in without trouble.
