Voting is the expression of our commitment to ourselves, one another, this country and this world. – Sharon Salzberg
Voters are faced with a challenging dilemma due to the health risks of the Covid-19 global pandemic. If they vote in person, they may jeopardize their health. If they stay home, they relinquish one of the most fundamental responsibilities of citizenship — casting a vote in an election and making their voices heard. Voting by mail is not an option in all states. Millions of voters prefer to vote in person for a variety of reasons. Voter turnout in the United States is one of the lowest in the industrialized world. Given the health concerns of Covid-19, voter turnout is likely to be even lower than in past election cycles. During the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic, election day voter turnout dropped by more than 10%.
Voters with disabilities have the option of drive-through, curbside voting. Due to health concerns or the desire for convenience, this option should be available to all citizens in order to increase voter participation.
All eligible Americans must have the opportunity to vote because it is foundational to our democracy. Our self-rule is dependent on accessible elections in which each citizen’s voice can be heard. When citizens vote, they can elect local, state and national representatives who can help build stronger communities.
Curbside voting is the solution that will keep citizens safe, offer convenience, and ensure that each person's voice is heard on election day.
