Accessibility

IndianaVoters.IN.gov has been built and checked against best practices and standards as defined by the Department of Justice final rule updating its regulations for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG 2.1, of the World Wide Web Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative.

This includes:

• Skip links, landmarks, and headings are defined to aid in navigation.
• Alternative text details (ALT tags) for appropriate images and other non-text elements.
• Additional markup is used where appropriate to indicate various page elements and other media.
• Form labels are programmatically associated with form fields.
• JavaScript and style sheets are used to enhance the appearance and functionality of the site. Care and caution has been used to ensure contrast and resolution remain high across devices, and that if these elements are unavailable to users, that the site degrades gracefully with minimal negative impact on user experience.
• Embedded documents and media have been made accessible to whatever extent possible.
• Higher contrast toggle option to view IndianaVoters.IN.gov pages.

While most of the website is compliant with WCAG 2.1, some aspects of IndianaVoters.IN.gov do not fully meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG 2.1. Due to technological limitations, some pages on IndianaVoters.IN.gov, primarily Historical Election Results, cannot be upgraded to fully meet the standards of the current Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and the web page will include text to alert the user of those constraints.

Some website pages that are linked from IndianaVoters.IN.gov to a domain outside of IndianaVoters.IN.gov may not fully meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, due to technological limitations.
