Voting access remains poor for disabled Americans in many states
Original: Election accessibility is dismal in some states, potentially impacting a quarter of U.S. adults in the who are disabled.
A report from Nonprofit Quarterly highlights that election accessibility is dismal in some U.S. states, potentially affecting roughly a quarter of American adults who live with a disability. Barriers such as inaccessible polling places, restrictive mail voting rules and inadequate accommodations can prevent disabled voters from casting ballots. The findings raise concerns about how state-level voting practices may shape participation ahead of upcoming elections.
Why now: Attention to voting rights and election rules is high with elections in the news, and disability access is a persistent unresolved issue.
