The Guidelines on Manifestos,
a part of the Election Commission's Code of Conduct for this year's
general elections, do not contain any mandates to make manifestos
accessible to persons with disabilities. It is up to individual parties
to do so, and it was due to the efforts of the Tamil Nadu Differently
Abled Federation that the Aam Aadmi Party was the first party in India
to release a manifesto in Braille.
As a matter of fact, a recent study by the Centre for Internet and Society revealed that only two election-related websites - of the BJP and the DMK - had zero accessibility errors, and that the Election Commission of India website itself had over 64 known accessibility errors.
