Screen readers
This site is built to work with the screen readers people already use, including VoiceOver on iPhone, iPad and Mac, TalkBack on Android, and NVDA and JAWS on Windows. Every page has a “Skip to main content” link, headings and labeled sections to move between, and text descriptions of its images.
Bigger text
On a phone, spread two fingers apart on the screen to zoom in. On a computer, press Ctrl and + on Windows, or Command and + on a Mac. The pages rearrange to fit, so you won't have to scroll sideways.
Sample ballots and other PDFs
The sample ballots on this site are PDF files from the state, and a screen reader may not read them in the right order. The same races and questions are listed as regular text under What's on Your Ballot? on the Elections 2026 page.
Tell us what isn't working
We test this site with automated accessibility checks and fix what they find, but tests don't catch everything. If something here is hard to see, hear or use, email lwvnewportcounty@gmail.com and tell us which page. We'll work to fix it.
