Accessible Voting Machines | Self-Determination | WI Board for People w/ Developmental Disabilities

September 12 through the 16, 2022 is National Disability Voting Rights Week. Each year a week is set aside to help make sure disabled voters across the country are registered, ready to vote and have access to the ballot. In honor of this National Disability Voting Rights Week, Stacy interviewed Denise Jess, Executive Director of Wisconsin Council of the Blind and Visually Impaired. Listen in as they discuss the importance and benefits of accessible voting machines and how you can access them when you vote.
