In this webinar, we've gathered self-advocate guest speakers who share basic information on why it's important to vote, how to register, how to vote with an early ballot, and what to expect on Election Day.
"We believe that every person should be supported to register to vote and exercise their rights as a Citizen if they choose to do so. It is important for people to be educated and exposed to this right and what this right means. When people are registered to vote they have the option to choose the candidate that supports their individual beliefs and causes."
