The countdown to Election Day is on, and many are anticipating this election will be closer than ever.
But there are obstacles for some when it comes to casting that vote. It's a problem many disabled Americans will face on Election Day.
The Government Accountability Office estimates only 27 percent of all polling places nationwide are actually handicap accessible.
Local ADA experts we talked to estimate the majority of polling places in the QCA wouldn't hold up to ADA standards.
ADA rules say that doors need to be 32 inches wide, buttons and switches can only be up to 48 inches high, and doors should only have five to eight pounds of tension so people can open them, but often that's not the case.
We took a look at a few to see how they stack up. The five places around the QC we visited were all randomly selected.
Our ADA experts say some are not quite up to par, giving them grades ranging from "A-" all the way down to an "F."
In Rock Island, the polling places there got a "D", an "A-", and a "D-". Two polling places in Davenport got a "C" and an "F".
