By making accessibility a priority from the start, businesses can avoid operational disruptions further down the line.

They alleged that the state&#8217;s online voter registration and absentee ballot systems were inaccessible to visually impaired users, violating the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act.<\/p><p>The case was settled in 2021, whereby the Michigan Department of State agreed to implement significant accessibility improvements to its online voting systems and make absentee ballots permanently available to all disabled Michigan voters. Among other things, this involves ensuring compatibility with screen readers and providing alternative ballot formats, such as large print ballots, to accommodate users with disabilities.
