Federal law requires polling places for federal elections to be accessible to older voters & voters with physical disabilities. Following reports of problems encountered in the close 2000 presidential election with respect to voter registration lists, absentee ballots, ballot counting, & antiquated voting systems, the Help Amer. Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) was enacted. Among HAVA includes requirements for the accessibility of voting systems. This testimony focuses on: (1) a variety of factors that affect the ability of older voters to travel to polling places, cast their votes in the voting room, or avail themselves of alternative voting provisions; & (2) trends & changes regarding the accessibility of polling places & alternative voting methods.

Administered by the Admin. on Aging (AoA), Title III of the Older Americans Act (OAA) is intended to assist individuals age 60 and older by providing supportive services. Title III, Medicaid and Medicare, state, and other sources of funding provide for several types of services, including congregate and home-delivered meals, transportation, and support for caregivers. This testimony reports on ongoing work by the auditor in preparation for the reauthorization of the OAA. This report describes: (1) Title III services most requested by seniors and how state and local agencies reach those most in need; and (2) how agencies have coped with increasing requests in the current economic environment. Charts and tables.
The OAA was enacted to help older adults remain in their homes and communities. In FY 2008, about 5% of the nation's adults 60 and over received key aging services through Title III of the OAA, incl. meals and home-based care. Studies project large increases in the number of adults who will be eligible for services in the future amid likely gov't. budget constraints. This report determined: (1) what is known about the need for home- and community-based services like those funded by OAA and the potential unmet need for these services; (2) how have agencies used their funds, including Recovery Act funds, to meet program objectives, and (3) how gov't. and local agencies measured need and unmet need.
