     (1) Make modifications such as installation of temporary ramps or relocation of polling places within buildings, where appropriate;

     (2) Designate new, accessible polling places to replace those that are inaccessible; and

     (3) Continue to use polling places and voter registration locations which are accessible to elderly and disabled persons.
