Help us learn about the challenges and successes of accessible voting
The Center for Civic Design is working on a project to learn more about the voting experiences of people with disabilities. The goal of this study is to understand real life barriers to voting for people with disabilities and how voting technology plays a role in creating or removing barriers.
We are interviewing people who support voters with disabilities in South Carolina, Virginia, Illinois, and California.
We want to hear about your experience if you are:
- A person with a disability who assists your community in the voting process
- A person who assists friends or family voters with disabilities
- An independent living specialist or someone who works or volunteers for a CIL or any similar organization
- A local or statewide advocate for voting access
- Anyone else who has experience helping people with disabilities in the voting process.
Details
Interviews will take place over Zoom and take around an hour. You will be paid $40 for your participation.
