DisBeat Announces 3 Reasons More Disabled People Will Vote in 2016
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 20, 2016 -- The Disability Community has been working diligently for a number of months on GET OUT THE VOTE (GOTV) activities prior to National Voter Registration Day on September 27. In 2012, only 56.8% of people with disabilities voted compared to 62.5% of non-disabled people, which is why disability organizations are committed to up that percentage by registering more disabled voters all across the country.
In support of these efforts and organizations, DisBeat is pleased to announce the 3 Reasons More Disabled People Will Vote in 2016
