Voter Voices

Carmen

Special | 4m 28sVideo has Closed Captions

Meet Carmen, a blind voter who's never been able to vote by herself, until this election.

Federal laws have been in place since the 1980’s to preserve and protect the right to vote of the physically disabled. Despite that, voter turnout is still historically low in individuals with visual, mobile or cognitive disabilities. How easy is it for the over 27.5 million Americans with disabilities to access the polls?
