The National Disability Rights Network joined other organizations in a letter addressed to Congressional Leadership asking them to protect the rights of voters with disabilities and to ensure equal access to federal elections for people with disabilities when administering funds in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Specifically, the letter urges Congress to (1) emphasize the requirement that all elections websites and online voter registration portals be accessible; (2) protect and expand in-person and early voting options; 3) require multiple accessible options be available for remote voting, such as Remote Access Vote by Mail (RAVBM); and; (4) provide funding to research, create, and test systems to improve access to voters with disabilities to more easily vote by mail and online.
