Save my vote!
Save My Vote! is a voter education campaign by the Georgia disability community for the Georgia disability community.
There are 650,000 people of voting age with disabilities in Georgia.
Many of you have told us voting is a challenge and that still rings true in 2022.
Let’s meet these challenges and make our votes count, together. We are dedicated to helping voters with disabilities meet the biggest voting challenges this midterm election and in future elections.
Hear personal voting stories and lessons learned as we get you prepare for the 2022 midterm elections.
Why do our votes matter?
The disability vote is one of the biggest voting blocs in the US.
Disability households made up 20% of voters in the 2018 midterm elections. And, we have the Americans with Disabilities Act on our side.
During Georgia’s 2020/2021 elections, we helped increase the state’s disability voter turnout by 5%.
We can do it again in 2022! As people with disabilities, families and allies, we are speaking up to educate voters with disabilities and elected officials.
Register to vote, learn voter terminology, vote and how to advocate for yourself.
We are also here to help you advocate for a disabled family member or friend. Become an ally to the disability community.
