Urge accessible elections for voters with disabilities – Will present demands to Legislative Committee on March 31
TORONTO, March 30 /CNW/ – Because voters with disabilities still confront barriers impeding access to polling stations and voting independently, at 12:30 pm, Wednesday March 31, 2010 the AODA Alliance will press an Ontario Legislature Standing Committee at Queen’s Park Room 151, to beef up the McGuinty Government’s toothless Bill 231. They want fully accessible elections for over one million voters with disabilities. The Government’s Bill 231 is supposed to modernize elections, including addressing barriers facing voters with disabilities.
