Temporary Solutions for Election Day
Interior Hallways and Corridors to Voting Area
Problem 1:
One or more steps along hallway to voting area block access.
Suggestion: Install a portable ramp with edge protection and handrails as shown in the figure or relocate the accessible voting to another area that is on an accessible route.
A portable ramp with edge protection and handrails is placed over stairs to provide an accessible route on Election Day.
Problem 2:
Voting area is not on an accessible route and cannot be made accessible.
Suggestion: Look for another area where accessible voting may be provided. For example, if the living room of a private home used for voting is up several steps, perhaps the garage may be accessible when entered from the driveway. Or, if a church’s basement is used as a polling place and it is not accessible, perhaps one of the ground floor rooms could be used as the accessible voting area.
An accessible voting station is provided on an accessible level in a facility where voting occurs downstairs.
