Accessible Voting Act
Why do we need the Accessible Voting Act?
Almost a quarter of the electorate will be 65 years old or older in 2020, and an estimated 14.3 million
citizens with disabilities reported voting in November 2018. These communities represent a large part of the electorate, but their needs related to voting are often overlooked and misunderstood.
Disability Law
Disability law refers to laws related to individuals with disabilities; specifically, these laws protect disabled individuals from certain kinds of discrimination. Disability laws are particularly concerned with employment, housing, education, and access to public services. Today, disability law is largely regulated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990.
