Key findings

The app settings can be accessed with both a screen reader and a keyboard. The app’s content is hardly structured when it comes to information and voting text items or results: the headings are not effective in terms of semantics; tables have no column titles. Switches are sometimes not lablelled, or only in English, and the shortcuts are not always correct. In addition, various items of text are embedded exclusively as graphics without being sufficiently explained in the surrounding text. Text content regarding voting is difficult to navigate by keyboard because it is not in logical reading order. Information videos are subtitled and thus meet the requirements for accessibility. When using the search feature, screen reader users are not informed of status messages and, as such, do not know whether or not results are being displayed. In the archive, the roles of the individual elements (e.g. ‘Zurich’) are only indicated after activation. The text size is not continuously adjustable. In some parts of the app, the contrast ratios are not sufficient.
