Did you know that in the 2012 Presidential election, 72% of polling places were not accessible and 57.2% of people with disabilities did not vote?

3 ways to prepare:
1) Attend a free Voter Forum to:
- Register to vote
- Learn what the Democratic and Republican Parties say about issues affecting people with disabilities
- Test the ballot marking machines
- Get informed and energized!
Forums are scheduled in Salisbury, MD September 28 and in Baltimore on October 6. Find more information about the Voter Forums and locations
