People With Disabilities Vote

One in five Americans, including nineteen percent of likely voters, experience a disability. They, along with their families, friends and allies, vote. Whether it be employment, education, mental health services, or housing policy, many issues directly affect the disability community. Voter turnout among people with disabilities increased by 8.5 points between the 2014 and 2018 elections. Making a campaign more accessible allows candidates to better engage with all voters, including this increasingly important constituency.
