Show 14 __ Help Americans Vote Act
Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and Accessible Voting This session is an overview of HAVA and related voting issues dealing with people with disabilities. Faith Gross, from The Legal Center for People with Disabilities and Older People , traces the evolution of HAVA from the basic program accessibility requirements of Title II of the ADA to the specific legislation passed in 2002 that requires all states to improve their voting processes. This includes the requirement for accessible voting machines and disability access. Resources will be cited for listeners to pursue further information on HAVA and details for their respective states.
