Hi Experts ,
If the Dropdown options are presented with Short Labels ,
will that be a Accessibility violation ?
Consider the case of a State selection Dropdown :in a Banking
/Insurance Application
Here the Dropdown options may be labled such as : Ala, Calif, DE, FL, La
Instead of presenting as - : Alabama, California, Delaware, Florida,
Louisiana so on

Is this coming under WCAG violation ? Please help me with your viewpoints

Thanks in advance,
