Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Political Science
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • Millions of Americans with disabilities face challenges in exercising their right to vote.
  • U.S. legislation has aimed to improve voting accessibility for individuals with disabilities over recent decades.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Examine trends in self-reported voting rates among people with and without disabilities.
  • Investigate the impact of policies on political participation and identify necessary policy changes.
  • Analyze how participation rates vary by disability type to encourage voter turnout.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of Current Population Survey (CPS) data.
  • Focus on presidential election years from 1980 to 2008.
  • Comparison of voting rates between individuals with and without disabilities.

Main Results:

  • Individuals aged 18-64 with work-preventing disabilities consistently show lower voting rates.
  • Lowest electoral participation observed in individuals with cognitive and mobility impairments.
  • The voting gap is significantly larger for in-person voting compared to mail-in voting across all disability types.

Conclusions:

  • The disparity in voting participation between people with and without disabilities has not narrowed over three decades.
  • Federal laws intended to remove voting barriers have not demonstrably closed the participation gap.
  • Further policy interventions are needed to address persistent inequalities in political engagement for people with disabilities.
