Every election is important and 2020 is no different. The races for US President and Senate are hotly contested this year, and the COVID-19 pandemic adds extra stress and challenges to the process of voting. We've brought some resources together to help you navigate the upcoming election.

Have a plan for voting! If you need to stand in line, bring a folding chair, sunscreen, a hat, food & water, your phone, books or magazines. Don't forget to invite a companion if you need assistance. Stay safe: bring a mask and hand sanitizer, too.

#CripTheVote is a non-partisan online and social media-based movement that seeks to energize and engage disabled people about issues important to the disability community. They house comprehensive information about the voting process, crucial topics and breaking news, and include guides on the platforms of the 2020 Presidential candidates regarding disability.
