Abstract:
|
E-voting machines have generally delivered on the promises of increased accuracy, more timely generation of results, and ability to address the needs of a wide range of capacities. For voters with disabilities and the aging, barriers to voting arise not only from physical factors such as inaccessible facilities or limitations of voting technology per se, but from less recognized and more subtle cultural, social, or awareness related factors. Examples of these “meso-level” barriers to voting include poll worker perception of voters with disabilities, or misunderstanding of the limitations of their disability-related conditions. This research presents the findings of a pilot survey of Georgia voter satisfaction with the voting process, using manual and electronic voting, and includes voters with and without disabilities, and the aging, to help assess and identify potential issues, barriers and opportunities that may impede accessibility to the voting process. |
