YOUR VOTE MATTERS!
5 Things to Remember:
1. There is power in numbers. With over 34 million eligible voters, the disability community has the capacity to impact elections and policy.
2. When you vote, you exercise your right to make your own choices about issues that may significantly affect your life.
3. Casting your vote helps elected officials know the issues individuals with disabilities care about.
4. A handful of votes can change the outcome of an election, especially at the local level.
5. Voting is a right for everyone, regardless of education level. To learn about the issues and candidates before voting, visit vote411.org.
