Why is voting important? Because people with disabilities living in a community like what everyone else is doing and we also have a voice where we can share our thoughts. We also want to be educated about the elections and who to vote for. You can also use your resources to help you educate and comprehend yourself and who to vote for.
What was your first voting experience like? My first voting experience was good. The people who worked there were very helpful and very nice. I had my mom as my support person with me and helped me when I was voting. I made a list of who I was voting for and my mom helped me with how to turn the pages and find the names of who I was voting for. And when I did my signature at the table to get the ballot they asked me if this was my first time voting and I said yes and they rang the bell for me. Before going to vote I was educated and used my resources on who to vote for. I have a neighbor who is the ward 3 council person for my city where I live. And she is another support person for me and helped me with educating me for who to vote for.
Voting and accessibility I had my mom as my support person with me and helped me when I was voting. I made a list of who I was voting for and my mom helped me with how to turn the pages and find the names of who I was voting for. The place where I was voting was accessible because there was a ramp for those who needed it.
