----------------------------+-----------------------------------------
The admin changelist action counter updates dynamically when selecting or
deselecting rows, but the updates are not explicitly announced as live
content for assistive technologies.

This can make it harder for screen reader users to perceive selection
count changes while performing bulk actions.

Proposed fix

Mark the counter as a polite live region and atomic:

aria-live="polite"
aria-atomic="true"
Patch summary

Updated django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/actions.html:
Added aria-live and aria-atomic attributes to .action-counter.
Added regression test in tests/admin_views/tests.py:
test_actions_counter_is_live_region
Why this is safe

Markup-only accessibility enhancement.
No behavior or JavaScript logic changes.
Existing UI behavior remains unchanged.

Comment:

Hi, I'd like to work on this ticket. I'll submit a PR adding aria-
live="polite" and aria-atomic="true" to the action-counter element in
actions.html, along with a regression test.

Comment:

I'll second this, and I will change the triage status to accepted, as this
seems like a needed and easy improvement to the overall accessibility of
Django-based projects. I will also mark it as being a contrib.admin issue,
as that's the subject at hand. I also feel that cleanup/optimization is
the only real fitting thing, as this ''isn't'' a completely new feature,
but also isn't a bug. Anyways, good luck to all, and I will CC myself so I
can keep track and help if needed!
