EAC Learning Lab - Accessible Elections - Information for Election Officials: Assistive Technology

The third video in this series, “Assistive Technology,” explains what assistive technology is, the wide-ranging types of available tools, election-related uses for assistive technology, and the basic functions of common assistive technology. For more information guidance and training on accessibility contact your regional ADA Center: https://adata.org/find-your-region or local, city, county, or state accessibility office. When available Section 261 of HAVA, authorizes payments to states and units of local government to ensure access to the polls for individuals with disabilities. There may be additional funding available for disability access through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
