The Disability Network (TDN) will host an Accessible Voting Information Session on Friday, September 13, from 2:30 to 5:30 at Gloria Coles Flint Public Library in recognition of Disability Voting Rights Week.
With the presidential election only a few months away, it is more important than ever for Genesee County residents to be educated and empowered when it comes to voting. This is why TDN will be hosting an Accessible Voting Information Session.

This informative and interactive event will empower and educate people on their rights and the accessible voting options available to them. Whether they’re a first-time voter or looking to learn more about voting accessibility, this event will provide valuable insights and hands-on tools for voting in upcoming elections.
A voter access terminal will be on-site for people to test and there will be remarks from Genesee County Clerk and Register of Deeds, Dominique Clemons, and Community Advocate and Trainer, Jessica Dixon, LCSW, about accessibility and voting for people with disabilities.
Additionally, the League of Women Voters Flint Area and the National Federation of the Blind Flint/Genesee Chapter will attend to support voters and celebrate accessible voting. An ASL interpreter will be present for this information session.
This will be one of many events TDN is hosting to bring education and empowerment to Genesee County voters.
