HTML Guide for region

The “region” role is unnecessary for element “section”.

A section element automatically defines a landmark region, so adding role="region" is redundant.

According to the HTML specification and WAI-ARIA guidelines, sectioning elements such as section, nav, article, and aside already have implicit landmark roles. Adding an explicit role="region" to a section does not change its semantics, and HTML validators will warn against this unnecessary usage.

Incorrect Example:

<section role="region">
  <h2>Contact Information</h2>
  <p>Email us at info@example.com</p>
</section>

Correct Example:

<section>
  <h2>Contact Information</h2>
  <p>Email us at info@example.com</p>
</section>

If a region of the page does not have an accessible name and you want it to be a landmark, add a heading element (<h1>-<h6>) as the first child to label the region for assistive technologies. Avoid adding redundant ARIA role attributes to native landmark elements for better accessibility and HTML validation.
