What is Disability Voting Rights Week?
Every year, the REV UP Campaign coordinates Disability Voting Rights Week (formerly National Disability Voter Registration Week) to increase the political power of people with disabilities. We do this by getting disabled people registered and ready to vote and engaging our candidates and communities on issues impacting people with disabilities.
This year, Disability Voting Rights Week is September 12-16, 2022. In 2020, an estimated 38 million people with disabilities were eligible to vote, and we invite national, state, and local organizations and advocates to participate in this national initiative in order to continue to raise the disability voice and civic participation across the country in 2022 and beyond.
