Did you know that the Primary Election is coming up in June? 🗳

Voting is your right — it’s one way you can speak up about what matters to you. Voting helps choose leaders and laws that affect your daily life, including health care services, housing, education, and community support. For the I/DD community, voting is important because these decisions can directly impact your access to services and protect your rights.

You can vote if you:

✔️ Are a U.S. citizen
✔️ Are 18 years old by Election Day
✔️ Live in New York State
✔️ Are registered to vote

If you are not sure if you are registered to vote, you can check your status online at: https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov/
