Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Public Health
  • Civic Engagement

Background:

  • Individuals with mental illness frequently encounter significant barriers to civic participation, including voting.
  • Lack of voter registration is a primary obstacle preventing this population from exercising their right to vote.
  • Hospitalized psychiatric patients are a vulnerable group often disenfranchised due to their illness and treatment setting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation and utilization of voter support activities (VSAs) for adult inpatients on acute psychiatric units.
  • To assess the feasibility and patient reception of VSAs within a psychiatric hospital setting.
  • To identify the role of psychiatric providers in facilitating voting access for patients.

Main Methods:

  • Voter support activities (VSAs) were offered to adult inpatients on acute psychiatric units during the six weeks before the 2020 general election.
  • VSAs included checking registration status, polling location, completing registration applications, and requesting mail-in ballots.
  • An optional survey collected data on previous voting behaviors and encountered barriers.

Main Results:

  • Of 189 patients approached, 119 completed the survey, and 60 utilized at least one VSA.
  • The study demonstrated that VSAs are a well-received and practical resource for psychiatrically hospitalized adults.
  • A significant proportion of patients engaged with the provided voting assistance services.

Conclusions:

  • Voter support activities are a feasible and valuable resource for improving voting access among hospitalized psychiatric patients.
  • Psychiatric providers can play a crucial role in ensuring equitable access to voting for individuals with mental illness.
  • Integrating VSAs into psychiatric care settings can empower patients and reduce disenfranchisement.
