Voting is a fundamental right, but the disAbility Law Center of Virginia's most recent election report shows that even now, polling places across the state fell short for people with disabilities.

Key findings:
-No curbside voting signage at 1 in every 10 sites
-Accessible parking missing at nearly 1 in 5 sites
-Confusing pathways and entrances at more than 1 in 10 locations
-Staff at over 30% of polling places lacked training to use accessible voting machines
-Only 57% of sites informed voters how to request assistance

Colleen Miller, the center’s Executive Director, reminds us: “Voting is a fundamental right, and barriers at polling places—whether physical or procedural—undermine democracy.”
