Disability Voting Rights Act

This bill, the Disability Voting Rights Act, requires states to improve voting access for people with disabilities in federal elections. It mandates that states allow individuals with disabilities to use absentee voting procedures, establish electronic and mail-based systems for requesting voter registration and absentee ballots, and designate a single state office to provide voting information. The bill sets deadlines for states to send absentee ballots (45 days before elections if requested early) and creates a waiver process for states facing undue hardships. It also expands a grant program to help states make polling places and voting systems more accessible. The requirements will take effect for federal elections starting January 1, 2025.
