The Arc-Dane County Votes
Increasing awareness and ensuring that the IDD community exorcises it's right to vote in 2022.

Thanks in part to a grant from REV UP and the AAPD, The Arc-Dane County is building a webpage of links and information specially designed for our IDD voters in Dane County. We are currently working on creating this page and adding content so please check back often.
WHY?
Disability and voter turnout: There has been a stubborn disability voting gap of 6-7 points in general elections.
Do people with disabilities care less about elections?
No: Surveys in 2016 and 2018 showed they were more likely than people without disabilities to:
say they follow the campaign closely
say “It really matters who wins the election”
be “extremely interested” in the elections (pew.org and respectability.org)
