Editor's Notes

  1. Accessibility is really just usability for more people: “The usability of a product, service, environment, or facility by people with the widest range of capabilities.” ISO 9241-20
  2. We are part of the environment. We create the environment. I’d like to challenge us to think about people – and how we make sure that we are advocating for systems that allow everyone to make sure that we are not desiging voting systems that create new barriers.
  3. New technologies empower. Section 508:At least one mode that does not requireVision Visual acuity greater than 20/70 Hearing Speech Fine motor control and provides enhanced audio
  4. Are you inviting both people with disabilities, and designers of all kinds to be an active part of the project.
  5. In NY, Working with Brennan Center, we worked on creating not only legal language, but also to actually design ballots – to show what could be done within the current law, and what the new law could make possible. This ballot supports the work to enact the Voter Friendly Ballot Act
