Bill > HR1573

This bill, the Disability Voting Rights Act, amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to promote access to voter registration and voting for individuals with disabilities. The key provisions include: requiring states to allow individuals with disabilities to use absentee registration and voting, accept and process voter registration and absentee ballot applications from individuals with disabilities, and transmit blank absentee ballots by mail and electronically. The bill also designates a single state office to provide information on voting procedures for individuals with disabilities, and allows states to request a hardship exemption from certain requirements. Additionally, the bill expands and reauthorizes a grant program to improve voting access for individuals with disabilities, including through accessible absentee voting systems and making polling places accessible.
