Accessibility and Voting
The ADA Unit ensures poll sites throughout the five boroughs are accessible to all voters on Election Day and throughout Early Voting. Nearly all poll sites require some form of temporary accessibility equipment, ranging from simple mats and cones to complicated ramping systems. Mats may cover unsafe walking conditions, cones alert voters with visual impairments of protruding objects, and ramps provide access to voters who cannot use the stairs. The ADA Unit also facilitates miscellaneous permanent repairs to doors, handrails, light fixtures, and walkways.
The needs of all poll sites are continually evaluated to ensure each location is accessible throughout the duration of every election event.
