Tangney WA
Wheelchair / step-free access at federal polling places, from the AEC’s own per-polling-place data. A literal count and percentage breakdown only — not a score, not a ranking against other divisions.
Benchmark: JSCEM’s own standard, not RioLabs’ judgment
The Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters (JSCEM) recommended in its June 2026 interim report (Recommendation 13) that “the majority of polling places in each electorate are physically accessible.” This site uses that recommendation as a published baseline for comparison — it is JSCEM’s benchmark, not a RioLabs accessibility judgment, and it is not a compliance target: nothing exists to comply with until the government responds. Government response to Recommendation 13: pending as of 2026-07-17.

2022 baseline (reference only — not a trend)
Our archive also holds a 2022 federal-election snapshot for Tangney. We show its literal breakdown below on its own, not side-by-side with the current figures above as a change or trend. The compact’s trend gate is closed: the apparent national shift in the Full-access share between 2022 and now is larger than the AEC’s own public wording of “around 20% increase,” which suggests a possible category or assessment-framework change between snapshots rather than a real-world change of that size. See About for the full explanation. Nothing here computes or claims a delta between the two years.

What this page does not claim
- No accessibility score, index, or rating — only the AEC's own Full / Assisted / None / not-stated categories, counted literally.
- No ranking of Tangney against any other division; the only comparative surface anywhere on this site is the national distribution shown on the index page.
- No distance or travel-time headline, and no estimate of how many people are affected — the AEC's dataset counts polling places, not voters or disability prevalence.
- No 2022-to-current trend or change claim (see above).
