Designing for Everyone - Accessibility as a Cornerstone of Civic Engagement

Ensuring Accessibility in Government Communications

Government agencies must ensure their digital communications are accessible to all residents. In the United States, requirements are established by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, with technical guidance provided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1). Features within a content management system (CMS), such as alt-text prompts, structured headings, color-contrast checks, and accessible templates—help agencies integrate compliance into everyday workflows. Ongoing audits, training, and updates ensure digital content remains usable, consistent, and aligned with federal accessibility standards.
