Accessibility Statement

Updated: January 23, 2026

At Poll Everywhere, we are committed to ensuring that our website and digital content are accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We strive to create an inclusive experience that allows everyone to navigate, understand, and interact with our content with ease.

Our Commitment

We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website by adhering to best practices and industry standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Currently, we are at least WCAG Edition AA compliant, based on VPAT® Version 2.5. Our goal is to provide an online experience that is user-friendly for individuals using assistive technologies, such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other accessibility tools.

Ongoing Efforts

To enhance accessibility, we:

  • Regularly review and update our website to comply with accessibility standards.
  • Conduct user testing and solicit feedback from individuals with diverse abilities.
  • Provide alternative text for images and ensure content is structured for screen readers.
  • Offer keyboard navigability and support for various input methods.
  • Work to improve contrast, font legibility, and other design elements to support a wide range of users.

Accessibility by Default

We are committed to providing an inclusive experience for all users. Accessibility features are enabled by default, requiring no action to activate them.

Feedback & Support

We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we welcome feedback on how we can improve. If you encounter any barriers or have suggestions, please contact us at accessibility@polleverywhere.com.

Thank you for helping us create a more accessible and inclusive digital experience for all.

Poll Everywhere 2.0 Accessibility Enhancements

Poll Everywhere has implemented several improvements to enhance accessibility and ensure a more consistent and inclusive experience for users of assistive technologies:

  • Improved Handling of Decorative Icons: Decorative iconography is now properly hidden from screen readers, preventing unnecessary announcements and reducing cognitive load for users relying on assistive technology.

  • Accessible Status Notifications: Status messages and updates are presented using clearly labeled ARIA regions, ensuring that screen readers correctly identify and announce important notifications.

  • Support for Dynamic Content: For areas of the interface that update automatically (such as live interactions), ARIA live regions (e.g., aria-live="polite") have been added. This allows screen readers to announce changes in a controlled, non-disruptive manner without requiring user action.

  • Accurate ARIA States and Labels for Inputs: Interactive elements—including checkboxes and multiple-choice options—now use precise ARIA attributes. This ensures screen readers can correctly communicate each element’s state and associated label.

  • Color Contrast Improvements: Visual contrast has been enhanced across relevant UI components to meet WCAG color contrast requirements for readability.

  • Enhanced Focus Indicators: Focus affordances have been improved on key elements, such as name and attendance fields, allowing keyboard users and assistive technologies to navigate the interface more easily.

  • Semantic Grouping with Fieldsets and Legends: Input groups that relate to a specific question now use semantic HTML structures, including fieldsets and legends. This provides screen reader users with clear context and helps them understand how choices relate back to the question being asked.
