It’s election day. You may be going or have already gone to your local polling station. You might have voted by mail. Or maybe you even placed your ballot in a drop box. But for one in four
Americans who live with a disability, the act of voting may not be all that simple. A report from the Government Accountability Office found that 60 percent of U.S. polling stations
featured an inaccessible area. And 65 percent also used a voting system that could impede disabled Americans from casting a ballot. In 2020, an increase in the usage of alternative voting
systems caused a surge in voter turnout. Nearly 18 million people with disabilities voted during the presidential election. Since then, some states have restricted those alternative
methods.How has that affected voters with disabilities this year? Copyright 2022 WAMU 88.5
