California Governor Jerry Browns office recently announced that he has signed AB 1311, which protects the #voting #rights of people with developmental disabilities. For everyone who is interested in exercising these precious rights in next month’s (or any upcoming) election, Terri Lantz, our Client Rights Advocate, forwarded the Justice Departments recently published guide to federal laws that protect the rights of voters with disabilities, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Voting Rights Act, the National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act. The publication, The Americans with Disabilities Act & Other Federal Laws Protecting the Rights of Voters with Disabilities, is intended to help election officials, poll workers and voters understand how the ADA and other federal laws ensure equality in the voting process for people with disabilities.
