ADA TEMP MEASURES

The Ada County Elections office is taking

additional steps to further our compliance with

the Americans with Disabilities Act. We take

seriously the physical accessibility of the

County’s polling places to people with mobility

and vision disabilities. For some polling places

this will mean sometimes taking temporary

remedial measures.

ADA TEMP MEASURES

Temporary measures are meant to alleviate accessibility restrictions to a building due to its design and or layout.

Our polling places are a mix of building styles and building age.

Some measures are applied in the parking areas. An example would be parking cones and signage for accessible

parking.

Some measures address access to the building. An example would be creating ramps where they do not exist.

In the polling place moveable barriers are relocated temporarily. An example would be planters or extra furniture impeding entry or

exit to the voting area.

ADA TEMP MEASURES

LINC ( Living independence Network

Corporation) has identified some polling places

requiring temporary remedies in order to be in

compliance with the ADA.

This is determined by an 88 point survey

instrument which encompasses the entirety of the

polling place. These surveys are conducted by

trained teams and can take several hours per site.

REQUIREMENTS OF PRECINCTS HAVING

This form will be in the CJ bag if the polling place

worker prior to opening the polls on Election day.

to make sure are in place.

The checklist is not exhaustive and not all items will
