Screen reader access Fail Semantic organization Fail Skip navigation Fail No skip navigation. Forms are completely inaccessible to some screen readers. Should use HTML headings. Alt text Pass Keyboard access Fail Bypasses forms. Color contrast Pass Text size and scaling Fail Uses fixed-font “px” instead of relative-font “em” or “percentage.” Tab order Fail Bypasses forms. Issues • There should be at least one HTML “h1” denoting the home page’s main purpose. • Every page should have at least one HTML “h1” tag denoting the page’s main purpose. The pages on this website have none. In addition, headings are used by screen readers to navigate to different elements of the page. Identifying areas of content with HTML headings (levels 1–6) is an important accessibility feature. • The forms are completely inaccessible to some screen readers. Because labels are used incorrectly, there is no association between many of the input fields and the corresponding instructional text. It is crucial that the “label for” value be identical to the corresponding input “id” value. This is how screen readers associate a label with the corresponding input (see Figures 27 and 28). 48 ACCESS DENIED: BARRIERS TO ONLINE VOTER REGISTRATION FOR CITIZENS WITH DISABILITIES
Recommendation Use form fieldset and legend elements to improve accessibility. These are important features used by screen readers to associate instructional text with corresponding input fields (see Figure 27 below). FIGURE 27 Form label example from Missouri.
