Voting is the foundation of democracy and people with disabilities make up over 20% of the eligible United States voting population.
Don't Block My Vote
by failing to adhere
to accessibility standards
and
Don't Block My Vote
by ignoring my issues.
DontBlockMyVote.org is driven by three basic principles.
1. Every eligible American citizen should vote.
Register and vote. Most states have early registration deadlines. Don’t miss your opportunity.
2. Every American deserves equal access to the polling place.
Polling place accessibility is improving, but it is still not perfect. Be a vigilant advocate - help us make sure every polling place is accessible by sharing information about good and bad voting experiences.
3. Disability issues must be at the forefront of every election.
People with disabilities represent the largest minority group in America yet few candidates running for public office regularly discuss disability issues during their campaigns. This has to change. Tell candidates to make disability issues a priority!
