Karthik Babu Menon, a client services coordinator at Spinal Cord Injury Saskatchewan, highlights the challenges faced by voters with disabilities in accessing polling stations. Though he has found voting accessible, he emphasizes the need for advancements, such as touch screen technology, to accommodate those with mobility and dexterity issues. He notes that clients often rely on Access Transit, which requires advance booking, complicating their ability to vote in person. While some prefer to mail their ballots, many wish to exercise their right to vote in person, indicating a broader systemic issue regarding accessibility in the electoral process.
"My clients, a lot of them use access transit. With Access Transit, you have to book in advance to go; there's some times they can't get trips going out to polls."
"I would definitely prefer something which has touch technology, like touch screens," he said, explaining he was born with cerebral palsy and can struggle with dexterity with his hands.
