Si tengo una discapacidad, ¿puedo recibir asistencia para emitir mi voto? La Ley del Derecho al Voto de 1965 permite que un votante tenga a alguien que le ayude mientras vota. La única persona a la que no se permite ayudar es su empleador, o un agente de su empleador o sindicato.

🎃 Halloween is on Friday!
Remember to keep pathways clear! 🎃
Little girl holding jack-o-lantern bucket trick or treating in front of a house using a wheelchair. Trick or Treating: Accessible Walkways Trick or Treating should be fun for all - so keep your pathways clear. A clear path that is at least 36 inches wide greatly increases access for people with disabilities. Decorations and plantings should not protrude into travel routes. Ensure adequate lighting to reduce the risk of falls. If you have any questions about the Americans with Disabilities Act, contact us at 1-800-949-4232
