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.
Ohio voters with disabilities can vote curbside if they are physically unable to enter their early voting location. With curbside voting, two poll workers from opposite major political parties bring out a ballot, and voters have the option to sit in their vehicle to vote or vote at the door of the early voting location.
If early voting, arrangements must be made to vote curbside at the early voting location prior to arrival.

In Ohio, every polling location is required to be accessible to ensure equal access for people with disabilities. Polling locations are required to have accessible voting equipment available, setup, and ready for voters to mark their ballot privately and independently.
Voters must cast their ballot at their designated polling location between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Election Day.

On Election Day, a voter with a disability may send another person into the polling location to inform poll workers of the voter’s desire to vote curbside.
If a voter cannot mark their ballot, or needs assistance because of a disability, the voter may bring someone to help, or ask for assistance from two poll workers from opposite major political parties.
The voter may ask anyone to help, except for the following people:
a candidate whose name appears on the ballot
an employer or employer’s agent
an officer or agent of a union
No one who assists can tell a voter how to vote or disclose any information about how that person voted.
Accessible Voting Equipment
Accessible voting equipment is available at polling locations for voters who need assistance marking their ballot. Contact your board of elections for more information about these voting machine features:
