Temporary Solutions for Election Day
Hallways and Corridors - Voters Who are Blind or Who Have Low Vision
Problem One:
Wall-mounted display case is a protruding object hazard because it is more than 4 inches from the wall and the bottom of the case is more than 27 inches above the floor.
Suggestion: Place a detectable object or skirting below the case. The bottom of the skirting or detectable object must be no higher than 27 inches above the floor.
Problem Two:
Ceiling or wall-mounted television monitor has less than 80 inches of clearance between the floor and the bottom of the unit.
Suggestion: Place a detectable object below the unit (no more than 27 inches above the floor) so a voter who is blind will not walk into the television.
Problem Three:
The bottom of a stair is open and voters who are blind or who have low vision can hit their heads on the underside of the stair.
Suggestion: Provide a detectable fence or other object so voters cannot walk under the stair.
A detectable fence placed under this stair keeps people from running into the bottom of the open stair.
