Your Vote Has Power!
Voting is very important.
It is a way for you to help choose the people that will run our government.
Our government makes laws, decides how money gets spent, and much more.
Who gets picked to run the government makes a big difference for people with disabilities and their families.
If you do not vote, then you do not get a say in what happens.
Check out the resources below to make sure you have the information you need to make your vote count the next time you cast a ballot!
