Voters with disabilities have options, including online, curbside and assisted voting
A new report estimates there are more than 40 million eligible voters with disabilities; yet turnout rates among this voting bloc continue to be lower than in the wider population. Changes in the law have helped to reduce these gaps, but experts say challenges still remain.
The Minnesota Disability Law Center, which is part of Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid, works to survey polling places here in the state. The center also runs workshops to inform people with disabilities of their rights when it comes to voting.
These include:
parking for people with disabilities;
accessible entrances and signage;
voter assist machines;
curbside voting; and
getting help from a family member, friend or election judges at the polls.
