The U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California reached an agreement with Los Angeles County, California. They settled the Department’s lawsuit that the County violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by denying voters with mobility and vision disabilities an equal opportunity to vote.
Under the agreement, the County will hire an accessibility expert for three years to make sure the County selects voting centers that will be accessible. The expert will report to the County and the Department.
