Many institutions need their dropdowns accessible to screen readers for people that can't see. There should be approprate aria labels and focus points so one can navigate the dropdown select with their keyboard and other software programs like JAWS/Voice Over.

Here is a reference to the aria roles/labels

I'm going to be working on adding this today. I don't have windows with JAWs but if there is anyone that does, it would be nice to get help testing it.

@fourcolors There's a 2-year-old thread about accessibility here: #264

You might want to catch up there before you start working. Going to close this issue as a duplicate of that one.
