Voting is a fundamental right, but one that is denied to many people with disabilities because they have a court-appointed guardian or conservator. State laws and practices vary widely, but restrictions on voting rights for people subject to guardianship may violate the US Constitution as well as federal voting rights and anti-discrimination laws. As practitioners, understanding the legal landscape in this area is critical to being able to represent and apply the law fairly. This webinar will offer tools for lawyers, guardians, and judges to best protect the voting rights of people with disabilities in the guardianship process.
