Voting Rights
The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) Program ensures the full participation in the electoral process for individuals with disabilities, including registering to vote, casting a vote and accessing polling places. HAVA gives Advocacy, Inc. the authority to respond to instances of voter rights violations based on disabilities and inform people with disabilities about their rights relative to voting. The project will educate both individuals with disabilities and personnel connected to the voting process, such as election officials and poll workers, to ensure that every person is able to cast an independent and private ballot in every election.
If you have questions about your voting rights – or to report a violation – contact Advocacy, Inc.’s Voter Assistance Hotline at 1.888.796.VOTE.
