Tuesday, October 16, 2018

Description
As the 2018 mid-term election approaches, the question asked by people with disabilities will not be "Who won" but rather "WAS I ABLE TO CAST A BALLOT?" This session will examine the status of accessibility of the voting process for people with disabilities. Join us as our speaker provides information on laws applying to voting including the requirements of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and what steps folks can take if barriers are encountered on Election Day.
