Disability Voting Rights Week (DVRW)

Monday, September 8, 2025 (All day) to Friday, September 12, 2025 (All day)

DVRW is a nonpartisan movement hosted by the American Association of People with Disabilities’ REV UP campaign to advocate for accessible futures, celebrate community, and build power. Disability activists have fought hard for accessibility rights for voters with disabilities, which benefit everyone. If you are disabled, make sure you know your rights before you go to vote! If you aren’t disabled now, think about how the rights won by activists could make voting more accessible for you and others in your life.

Through DVRW, voters with disabilities:

• Think: My vote matters and voting is one way that I can use my power in my community.
• Feel: Solidarity with a broader community; supported to access their right to vote.
• Do: Register to vote; make a plan to vote in November 2025; support a friend in registering, educating, and voting!

Through DVRW, election officials, poll workers, and nondisabled people:

• Learn about the barriers that disabled voters face.
• Learn what actions they can take to make voting more accessible.
• Recognize the power of the disability community and the importance of building accessible systems
• Engage the disability community during this week of action and in every election cycle.
