ADA TEMP MEASURES

The Ada County Elections office is taking additional steps to further our compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. We take seriously the physical accessibility of the County’s polling places to people with mobility and vision disabilities. For some polling places this will mean sometimes taking temporary remedial measures.

ADA TEMP MEASURES

Temporary measures are meant to alleviate accessibility restrictions to a building due to its design and or layout.

Our polling places are a mix of building styles and building age.

Some measures are applied in the parking areas. An example would be parking cones and signage for accessible

parking. Some measures address access to the building. An example

would be creating ramps where they do not exist. In the polling place moveable barriers are relocated

temporarily. An example would be planters or extra furniture impeding entry or

exit to the voting area.

ADA TEMP MEASURES

LINC ( Living independence Network Corporation) has identified some polling places requiring temporary remedies in order to be in compliance with the ADA. This is determined by an 88 point survey

instrument which encompasses the entirety of the polling place. These surveys are conducted by trained teams and can take several hours per site.

REQUIREMENTS OF PRECINCTS HAVING TEMPORARY MEASURES IN PLACE

This form will be in the CJ bag if the polling place requires measure be taken by LINC or by the Election day staff.

This form must be filled out by every Election day worker prior to opening the polls on Election day. A checklist is included to remind the staff of the items

to make sure are in place. The checklist is not exhaustive and not all items will

apply to every polling place.
