All across the country, there's a growing consensus on the many advantages of online voter registration. It’s convenient, saves money and is supported by people across the political spectrum. Online voter registration can especially help people with disabilities access the election system and exercise their right to vote.
It’s also the law. The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires all state and local government entities to ensure that people with disabilities have equal access to government programs and services.
For many, online registration would allow voters to register securely without the need for time-consuming and burdensome trips to the bureau of motor vehicles and the board of elections or to send an application through the U.S. mail. With web accessibility, many more people with disabilities would be able to register to vote.
