The Western Australian Electoral Commission has a commitment to its Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) to ensure its services, information and facilities are accessible and inclusive for people with disability.
This plan includes strategies to help ensure people with disability have equal opportunity to participate in the electoral process and have a positive experience when doing so.
The Commission's DAIP covers the period 2021-2025 following consultation with the community and our Disability Reference panel. It is assessed on a regular basis.
