6/ Code forms so they are accessible. Make sure everyone can use voter reg forms, absentee ballot requests, & “My Voter” features.

8/ Keep alternative formats together so voters can choose. Put links to files together so it’s easier to choose the format that works best.

10/ Test the site with voters with disabilities. There’s nothing like seeing real voters try to use your site to find information.
