Lake County board dismisses ADA complaint over polling sites

The Lake County election board dismissed an Americans with Disabilities Act complaint involving polling sites, while leaving open the possibility of changing locations in future elections.

Board decision

The board’s action ended the complaint before it. The decision concerns access requirements at polling locations and does not identify any immediate changes to where Lake County voters cast ballots.

Future polling sites

The board could review or change polling locations for later elections. No particular site, election date or replacement location has been identified.

Any change would affect the places voters use to cast ballots. Voters should check official Lake County election information before a future election for their assigned polling location.

What happens next

The board’s dismissal and any future discussion of polling sites are separate steps. The complaint has been dismissed, while possible changes to polling locations remain an issue for future consideration.
