Accessibility in the 2010 Municipal Election

The accessibility goal of the Town of Oakville's Election Team for the 2010 municipal election is to establish objectives and actions to ensure the needs of electors and candidates with disabilities have been addressed. The 2010 Accessibility Action Plan has been prepared to assist with meeting this goal. (Please note: this is a working document and may be updated from time to time.)

Section 45(2) of the The Municipal Elections Act, 1996, as amended, states: "In establishing the locations of voting places, the clerk shall ensure that each voting place is accessible to electors with disabilities." All voting locations in Oakville will be physically accessible.

All advance voting locations (advance voting dates and times) will be physically accessible and equipped with accessible voting equipment to consider the needs of electors whose mobility is impaired by disability or some other cause. 
On voting day (October 25, 2010) a central voting location will be available at Town Hall (1225 Trafalgar Road) that will be equipped with accessible voting equipment.
