Flint to make polls accessible to disabled
FLINT (AP) -- Flint is promising to make sure all its polling places are accessible to people with disabilities in time for the November presidential election under a deal with the U.S. Department of Justice.
The department said Monday that the agreement with Flint comes under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The department says it investigated after getting a complaint from the Michigan Protection and Advocacy Service that some Flint's polls were inaccessible to people with disabilities.
Flint also agrees to make accessibility a major factor in choosing future polling places.
The Justice Department says it will give "technical assistance to the city in deciding whether a polling place location can be made accessible" by election day.
