For the April 2021 election, the DVC is again offering the “Find a Ride to the Polls” resource on our website, listing transportation options around the state. Plan ahead – some require advance notice. If you have a transportation resource to add, email us at info@disabilityvote.org. Thanks to the ADRCs, counties, providers, and volunteers who are providing transportation!

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Resources

On March 4th, the Wisconsin Disability Vote Coalition hosted a State Superintendent of Public Instruction candidate forum. The forum was an opportunity to hear from candidates Deborah Kerr and Jill Underly about how they would address the needs of students with disabilities, including mental health needs. The Candidate Forum video is now available and includes captioning and an ASL interpreter.
