Does anyone have an idea about the accessibility of e-signature?

Donald,
Your question is not quite clear. Are you referring to e-mail signatures or
digital signatures that are used for some purpose such as filing tax
returns.
Can you please explain?
Thanks,
Vasu

Do you mean using sites like docusign? Perhaps an example of what you're
looking for might help. Sites that allow esigs can be accessible, but they
often aren't, but I think you can say that about any website in general.
Do you have specifics you're looking for?

I don't have an example. Apparently it is a product called eSign or eSignLive. The devs tell me the current version is ADA accessible, but I'm not a true believer.

I have used DocuSign and would say that it is usable. Things are labeled but I couldn't analyze it at the time, because I had to sign and submit the documents. I used JAWS, I think 18 on a Window 10.1 laptop.

A lot of e-sig sites just overlay signature fields on top of images of the
document, which is not accessible. If the document is converted to real
html text, with headings and other semantic info added, and real form
elements, then it should be accessible. If you're asking hypothetically if
e-sig sites can be accessible, then yes.
I'm not familiar with esignlive but their blog says their site is AA
compliant -

- provided you have a tagged PDF and do some other work.

I highly recommend DocuSign. I used it all the time and it is quite accessible.
The important part is to ensure that you read their accessibility SDK. If not implemented properly, DocuSign may not be as accessible.
