Elections will be November 8, 2022, but early voting has already begun. Remember the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) covers voting, so your polling place should be accessible and offer you help if you need it due to your disability. For more information on the ADA and voters with disabilities, please visit the ADA website:   https://www.ada.gov/ada_voting/ada_voting_ta.htm

You can call 866-Our-VOTE to speak to people with voting questions and get ideas on assistance and the state election websites also have a menu item for "accessible voting". For example, here is the state of Maryland's webpage for Voters with Disabilities.

If you’d like to share a photo and story about casting your vote, please email lucy.beadnell@thearcofnova.org.  And if you see candidates at the polls, remember to tell them that you care about disability issues!

Rock the vote in 2022!
