The accessibility standards include:
- Written notice to voters assigned to an inaccessible polling place explaining the factors that make the polling place inaccessible. This notice must be provided no later than 30 days prior to an election.
- Reassignment to an accessible polling place upon advance request from a voter assigned to an inaccessible polling place.
- A disabled parking space.
- Signs identifying an accessible route of travel to the polling place if different than the primary route.
- An unobstructed route of travel to the polling place.
- Level, firm, stable and slip-resistant surfaces.
- An unobstructed area for voting.
- At Least one voting booth with a maximum height of 30 inches and a minimum knee clearance of 27 inches.
- Sufficient lighting along the accessible route of travel and within the polling place.
- Voting instructions printed in bold type at each polling place.
- Assistance for any voter unable to vote the ballot. Assistance may be provided by a person of the voter's choice, or by two poll workers of opposite political parties.
