Accessibility for Disabled Persons at the 2021 Norwegian Parliamentary Election, Survey

The starting point for the project is that all eligible voters should have the same opportunity to vote in elections. The study was conducted on assignment from the Norwegian Ministry of Local Government and Modernisation. The aim of the project is to map the extent to which people with disabilities in practice have an equal opportunity to vote, what the municipalities do to design the polling stations so that all voters actually can vote, and how the municipal decisions on polling station accessibility and suitability are made.

The study consists of 3 datasets; (1) An online survey of all Norwegian municipalities; (2) Qualitative interviews with local electoral administrators in nine municipalities; (3) factual observation of 27 polling stations in these nine municipalities. This study contains the survey data.
