Voting is an important way to speak up about issues that affect our lives. Green Mountain Self-Advocates created this plain-language presentation to help people with disabilities learn about their voting rights and feel more confident taking part in elections.

The slides explain why voting matters, how to register to vote, how to find out what’s on your ballot, and what help is available at the polls. There are also activities to help people decide which issues matter most to them, learn about candidates, and find trustworthy information.

The presentation also explains how election results are counted and certified, using the 2020 presidential election as an example.

These slides can be used by self-advocacy groups, peer trainers, support staff, and others to lead discussions about voting and making informed choices.
