Disabled people are often overlooked when talking about how to handle discrimination at the polls. From inaccessible polling places to volunteers not knowing how to work the accessible ballot machines, there can be unique barriers to our ability to vote. Many of us have questions every step of the way.
We’re here to help, with webinars covering the basics of voting, knowing your rights at the polls, and advocacy options beyond the ballot box.
Our first webinar, “Get Out the Vote with ASAN!” was September 12th, at 2 PM ET.
In this webinar, we talked about:
- How to register to vote
- How to vote by mail
- How to vote early
- How to vote in person
