Know Your Power.” The body text of the graphic reads: “Vote privately and independently; Vote in a way that is accessible to you; tip: if you vote in person, ask to use the accessible voting machine or ballot marking device!; Get help with any part of the voting process from a person you choose; Note: States may have rules about who can or cannot help you vote.

In Canada, over 8M people aged 15+ live with disabilities, more than 1 in 4. Their right to vote is fundamental. When systems exclude them through narrow definitions, lack of accommodations, or inaccessible methods, it's not just policy failure. It's a democratic one.
