Overview and proceedings
The Disability Access Committee was established in August 2006. The responsibility of the Committee is to improve access to elections for voters with disabilities. The Committee consists of voters with disabilities, care givers, representatives from disability organizations and service providers. We meet to discuss issues, provide feedback, and carry out projects of importance to voters in Benton County.
