Scottish Political Parties

Slide 6 of 36

Survey of the accessibility of 8 parties standing in May 2003 Scottish Parliamentary elections carried out (by David & Martin Sloan)

Four parties' home page failed Cynthia Says test and manual testing found that all have accessibility problems across the Web sites:

missing ALT tags, contrasts, graphical navigation, poorly implemented frames, non-compliant HTML, PDF files, …

A number of political parties pledged support for accessibility, the Web sites had been developed for the election and had a high profile. So why the poor findings?
