Massachusetts S504 enforces accessibility for voters with disabilities by requiring inspections of polling places and early voting sites.
Massachusetts S504 mandates that an agent of the state secretary inspect each polling place and early voting site at least once every four years to ensure compliance with federal and state laws concerning accessibility for voters with disabilities. The inspecting agent must report any failures to comply to the state secretary and the city or town clerk. If a city or town fails to take immediate action or submit a written plan to comply, the state secretary may order compliance. The attorney general can bring a civil action in the superior court to enforce compliance with accessibility laws.
