No, not all ADA-compliant toilets are elongated. While elongated toilets are often recommended for accessibility due to their larger seating area, ADA regulations do not mandate the shape of the toilet. Both elongated and round toilets can meet ADA requirements as long as they comply with height and other specifications. The choice between elongated and round may depend on individual needs and bathroom space constraints.
