We are regularly encouraged to ‘get out the vote.’ For some, it is harder than it sounds. The law requires that polling places be accessible to individuals with disabilities, but that's not always the case. On top of that, transportation, photo I.D. and lack of education for poll workers can all become barriers to voting for a citizen with a disability. We discuss the many challenges the disability community faces while exercising their civic duty and where they can go for help.
