In The Know Education Series: Voting 101 - Exercise Your Right!

Our In the Know education series is designed to educate and elevate awareness of timely and relevant topics impacting the quality of life for individuals with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (IDD).

Guest Speaker: Self-Advocates from the IDD community

Topic: Voting 101: Exercise Your Rights!

Description:We've gathered self-advocate guest speakers who will share basic information on why it's important to vote, how to register, how to vote with an early ballot, and what to expect on Election Day. 

"We believe that every person should be supported to register to vote and exercise their rights as a Citizen if they choose to do so. It is important for people to be educated and exposed to this right and what this right means. When people are registered to vote they have the option to choose the candidate that supports their individual beliefs and causes."
