NASHVILLE (AP) - The Tennessee Division of Elections is helping the Tennessee Disability Coalition with a project aimed at improving ballot access.

The division will be sharing information with the coalition about voting equipment and training.

The coalition is part of the Research Alliance for Accessible Voting, which recently was awarded a grant by the federal Election Assistance Commission to study methods for improving ballot access.

Secretary of State Tre Hargett said the state has a strong record in ensuring access for disabled voters.
