Your Vote Has Power!
Voting helps shape the future of our community. When you vote, you help choose the people who run our local, state, and federal governments.
These leaders:
- Make laws
- Decide how money is spent
- Make choices that affect our schools, jobs, health care, and daily lives
These choices affect people with disabilities and their families every day. Make sure you have the information you need before you vote!
