#AdvocacyMatters: Power Up Your Vote!

September 25, 2026 / #AdvocacyMatters

Fair and equitable access to elections and civic engagement are at the core of the disability rights movement. Ohio's general election is coming up just a little over 5 weeks away. No matter how you plan to participate, a little planning can help deliver an easy, low-stress voting experience.

We've partnered with the Ohio Olmstead Task Force to host a voting webinar designed especially for disabled Ohioans and advocates. Power Up Your Vote will take place next Friday, October 2nd from 1-2 p.m. over Zoom.

Join Katie Shelley, Community Engagement and Advocacy Specialist with Disability Rights Ohio and co-host Jennifer Kucera, Chair of the Ohio Olmstead Task Force for this amazing event that seeks to inform advocates with disabilities throughout Ohio on how to access voting, why to vote, who can vote, and what to do if you feel your rights as an Ohio voter have been violated. You can register at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/102votingweb. Following registration, you'll be sent a secure link to access the zoom.
