Here's One Solution

Always give constructive accessibility feedback

It’s very often all too easy to point out other people accessibility problems without doing anything constructive. If you spot an problem on somebody’s website don’t just bitch on Twitter, help them to fix it.

Here is the feedback I sent to the Electoral Commision’s About my vote website today. With hindsight, I could maybe have used simpler language but this is at least a step in the right direction.

Hello,

I noticed today that the labels on your forms are not properly associated with the corresponding inputs in the HTML. This can make it much harder for people with a range of disabilities to interact with the forms.

You can associate the form elements and labels using the “for” attribute. This should be added to the “label” element and should be have the same value as the “id” attribute on the corresponding “input” or “select” element.

If you would like to discuss this problem and it’s solution please get in touch, although your usual web team should be able to easily fix this.

Best Regards
