Elections Ontario asks Ontarians to provide feedback
Until Jan. 5 members of the public can visit www.elections.on.ca to view the proposed voting locations and provide feedback online about the accessibility of these sites for the 2018 General Election.
“We want to remove barriers that may prevent people from voting and make the electoral process as easy and convenient as possible,” says Chief electoral officer of Ontario Greg Essensa.
Elections Ontario’s Accessibility Program puts accessibility at the forefront of the voting process.
In Ontario, election laws require all voting locations be accessible. To meet this requirement, Elections Ontario established site accessibility standards in consultation with accessibility experts and members of the public. Following the public consultation, Elections Ontario will review the feedback and work to ensure all sites meet Ontario voters’ expectations.
