What is Disability Voting Rights Week?
During Disability Voting Rights Week (DVRW), advocates and communities build the power through voter registration, voter education, community engagement, and more! DVRW will take place September 12-16, 2022 and is hosted by the American Association of People with Disabilities' REV UP Campaign. Through DVRW, we work to make sure that the disability community is registered and ready to vote in upcoming elections. Registering our communities to vote, motivating them to participate in every election, and ensuring that we are included in conversations about the issues that impact our lives are all critical to building the power of the disability vote.
Why is it important?
This year, thousands of state and local offices are up for election, as well as countless ballot measures, constitutional amendments, and other decisions that can have a direct impact in the community. The disability vote has the power to create a more inclusive and accessible nation, where the policies and people that govern us prioritize people with disabilities. Only 17.7 million of the over 38 million eligible voters with disabilities participated in the 2020 elections. Despite an increase in voter turnout overall, in 2020 the turnout rate of voters with disabilities was 7% lower than voters without disabilities. Through DVRW, we can work to close the turnout gap and make a difference through state, local, tribal, and national elections.
What is REV UP?
The REV UP Campaign, launched by (AAPD) in 2016, is a nonpartisan initiative that is composed of state and national coalitions that work to advance the Disability Vote. REV UP’s mission is to foster civic engagement and protect the voting rights of Americans with disabilities. REV UP stands for “Register! Educate! Vote! Use your Power!”

Finals are almost over! Keep up the good work Cougars!
