The New York City Board of Elections has pledged to improve poll access for the disabled, telling a federal judge yesterday that measures in place for the Sept. 13 primaries will reduce the barriers to access in some of the city’s most trouble-plagued polling places.

One month after Southern District Judge Deborah Batts (See Profile) found “pervasive” access problems that the board has yet to remedy, Assistant Corporation Counsel Stephen Kitzinger yesterday told her the board “is actively working to make sure” that “all polling places are accessible.”
