Accessible Voting Act of 2026

This bill would change federal election law to address voting access for people with disabilities, adults 60 and older, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and people with limited English. It would create an Office of Accessibility within the Election Assistance Commission, a national resource center, and a national voter accessibility website with a public complaint database. States would have to make election websites and polling places accessible, name one office for disability and older-voter information, and post notice of voting changes. States would also have to let any eligible voter vote absentee in federal elections and accept registration applications received at least 21 days before an election. The bill would limit removing voting rights based on guardianship and would fund state payments of at least $1,000,000 each.
