The standard

This site targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA. That is the benchmark used by most public bodies in the United States, and it is the one the campaign holds itself to.

What that means in practice

• Motion can be turned off. If your device is set to reduce motion, every animation on this site is disabled and content appears in its final position. No parallax, no counters, no scrolling marquee.
• Keyboard navigable throughout. Every link, button, form field, filter, and the photo viewer can be operated without a mouse, with a visible focus indicator.
• Contrast. Text meets or exceeds AA contrast ratios against its background in both the dark and light sections.
• Text alternatives. Photographs carry descriptions for screen reader users; purely decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology rather than announced as noise.
• Real semantics. Headings are properly ordered, forms have real labels, and errors are announced rather than only shown in red.
• Text scales. The layout holds together when text is enlarged up to 200%.
• Video is optional to load. Embedded players do not load until you press play, which keeps the page light on slow or metered connections.

Known limitations

Photos and video are supplied by the campaign as it moves through the district. Where a description is missing or unhelpful, that is an oversight worth reporting, not an intended limitation. Captions on campaign video are being added as footage is produced.

Found a problem?

Please say so — it will be fixed. Include the page address and what went wrong, and if you can, the browser or assistive technology you were using.
