Voting Access
Voting access refers to the ability of eligible citizens to participate in elections. It includes factors such as registration processes, polling locations, and voting methods. Ensuring that all eligible voters can easily cast their ballots is essential for a fair democratic process.
Barriers to voting access can include strict identification laws, limited polling hours, and inadequate resources for those with disabilities. Organizations like the Election Assistance Commission work to improve voting access by providing guidelines and support to states, aiming to create a more inclusive electoral system for all citizens.
