Disability Rights Pennsylvania announces voting rights hotline for Primary Election Day

PITTSBURGH — Disability Rights of Pennsylvania has partnered with the Election Protection Coalition to provide voter assistance to Pennsylvanians with disabilities on Primary Election Day.

Voters with disabilities who encounter barriers to voting, or who wants to verify their polling location can call 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-621-2629) from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day.

“Voting is one of our most fundamental rights, yet barriers exist that prevent people with disabilities from exercising their right to vote,” said Peri Jude Radecic, CEO of Disability Rights Pennsylvania.

Federal civil rights laws were passed to ensure people with disabilities have access to polling places, are able to register to vote, have voting materials in an accessible format.
