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 for the 2021 State General Election, to help ensure people with disability have equal opportunity to participate in the electoral process and have a positive experience when doing so. The DAIP aims to promote independence, opportunities and inclusion for people with disability.
The Commission's DAIP covers the period 2016-2021 following consultation with the community and the Disability Services Commission. It is assessed on an annual basis.
