"More recently, the ABA Commission on Disability Rights has interviewed three experts on voting accessibility. The conversation, Experts Weigh in on Voting Accessibility, is a must-read ahead of the election. Kenia Flores, Voting Access and Election Protection Fellow at Detroit Disability Power and Manager of Government Relations at Learning Ally; Michelle Bishop, Manager for Voter Access and Engagement at the National Disability Rights Network; and Ben Hovland, Chairman of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) talk about barriers they foresee in the 2024 electoral process and how voting accessibility is of concern to everyone, not just the disability rights community.
'Sometimes it feels like people only care about ensuring access when they’re disabled or because they have a disabled family member, and I like to remind folks that anyone can become disabled at any time for any reason. This is not to scare anyone but is a reminder that accessibility benefits everyone.' – Kenia Flores"
