### Why is this important?
Elements with a `"region"` role must have a label that describes the purpose of the region.
This information helps people using assistive technologies to find and navigate the region.
<!-- This is where the code snippet is injected -->
<div id="locSnippet"></div>
### What to do
* If there is visible text that appropriately describes the region's purpose, set the region element's `aria-labelledby` attribute to the `id` value of that text (example below)
* **Or**, use the `aria-label` attribute to add a label directly to the element with the `"region"` role
For example, the HTML `<section>` element has an implicit role of `"region"`:
```
<section aria-labelledby="log1">
<h3 id="log1">Real time log</h3>
This is the text contained within the landmark region...
</section>
```
