Voting should be accessible to everyone.
St. Charles County offers several accessible voting options to help ensure individuals with disabilities can exercise their right to vote. Depending on your needs, these options include:

• Accessible voting equipment at every polling place
• Curbside voting for individuals with limited mobility
• The Permanently Disabled Absentee Program
• Bipartisan Election Judge assistance upon request
• Hospital voting services for eligible individuals who are unexpectedly hospitalized before an election

Removing barriers to voting helps strengthen our communities by ensuring every eligible voter has the opportunity to participate.

Big events—whether it's a holiday celebration, family gathering, community festival, or vacation can bring excitement and new experiences. With thoughtful planning and the right supports, they can also be opportunities to promote independence.

Encouraging choice, maintaining familiar routines when possible, preparing for changes in advance, and allowing extra time can help individuals participate with greater confidence. Small accommodations can make a meaningful difference while respecting each person's preferences and abilities.

At the DDRB, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to participate in community life in ways that are meaningful, accessible, and empowering.
