Voting is a fundamental right, but the disAbility Law Center of Virginia's most recent election report shows that even now, polling places across the state fell short for people with disabilities.

Key findings:
-No curbside voting signage at 1 in every 10 sites
-Accessible parking missing at nearly 1 in 5 sites
-Confusing pathways and entrances at more than 1 in 10 locations
-Staff at over 30% of polling places lacked training to use accessible voting machines
-Only 57% of sites informed voters how to request assistance

Colleen Miller, the center’s Executive Director, reminds us: “Voting is a fundamental right, and barriers at polling places—whether physical or procedural—undermine democracy.”

This is one example of our network’s impact in voting advocacy. Learn more about dLCV’s work, and their letter to the Virginia Department of Elections here:
