People with Disabilities Encouraged to Vote

Westchester Disabled on the Move, Inc. (WDOM) and the League of Women Voters of Westchester, New York joined forces to encourage people with disabilities to learn their voting rights and register to vote.

An estimated 25 percent of the population is classified as having a disability.  There are roadblocks for people with disabilities who often face challenges on being able to vote and make their voices heard.

Established in 1984, WDOM is a nonprofit, community-based organization that is part of a national network of Independent Living Centers dedicated to independence and equal rights for individuals with disabilities.

With Republicans working so hard to keep people from voting, efforts to include all eligible people are encouraging.
