Assembly requires accessible parking at vote centers to support curbside voting
Summary
AB 287 mandates that vote centers provide accessible parking to accommodate curbside voting for people with disabilities; the Assembly approved the measure unanimously.
The California State Assembly on March 6 approved Assembly Bill 287, requiring vote centers to provide accessible parking to facilitate curbside voting for people with disabilities.
Assemblymember Lackey presented the bill as a measure to ‘‘guarantee that everyone has equal opportunity to vote,’’ emphasizing accessible parking for curbside ballots. "This is a simple clarifying bill to help guarantee that everyone has equal opportunity to vote and I would certainly urge you to support this worthy measure," Lackey said on the floor.
The clerk closed the roll and announced Ayes 64, Noes 0. The floor comments did not include details on enforcement mechanisms, funding, or technical specifications for accessible parking; those implementation details remain in the bill text and committee analyses.
