Your Voice, Your Vote: Episode 4 – Understanding the Disability Vote

Let's talk about Understanding the Disability Vote in the fourth episode of our new series, "Your Voice, Your Vote!"

In this two-part episode, we talk about the disability community, their access to voting, what barriers are up against the disability community’s civic involvement, what trends we see in disabled voters, and what efforts are being made to make elections more accessible for all. First, you will hear from guests Lisa Schur and Doug Kruse from Rutgers University who do disability voting research. After that, you will get insight from Commissioner Tom Hicks from the Elections Assistance Commission.
