  • Fines: specific monetary penalties for polling accessibility violations are not specified on the cited county or state pages; federal civil penalties under ADA are enforced case-by-case and not listed on the cited pages.

  • Non-monetary sanctions: orders to correct site access, relocation of voting equipment, temporary alternative voting arrangements, and court actions are possible remedies noted in guidance; exact remedies depend on the enforcing agency and are not fully itemized on the cited pages.
