Hello All,
We have compiled a video with Disability Law Colorado and Vocational Rehabilitation counselor Sarah Collins about voting questions for Voters with disabilities.
We hope that this answers your questions as we are near Elections.
Remember, your vote is your voice!

Hi, I'm Sarah Pielsticker, and I'm a disability rights attorney at Disability Law Colorado, Colorado's protection and advocacy system for individuals with disabilities.

I'm a team leader at Disability Law Colorado.
00:15
Since an important federal election is just around the corner, we're going to be spending a few minutes talking about your voting rights.
00:21
Sarah, what makes elections unique in Colorado?
00:25
There are many laws that protect the right to vote in Colorado, but Colorado election law gives a more robust set of rights to people in our state that sometimes do not exist in other states.
00:36
For example, in Colorado, if you have a guardian, you still have the right to vote.
00:40
This is not the case in all other states.
00:43
And how does someone register to vote?
00:45
You can register to vote online at the Secretary of State's website, govotecolorado.com, or in person at a variety of locations.
00:53
You can register to vote in person up until and on Election Day.
00:58
To receive a mail ballot, you need to register to vote 8 days in advance of the election.
01:04
And what ID is required to vote?
01:06
You must have identification to vote, but it does not need to be a Colorado driver's license or even a photo ID.
01:13
It can be a variety of different types of identification.
01:17
There's a full list on the Secretary of State's website, but some examples are a passport, a military ID, a recent paycheck, or bill that has a Colorado address on it.

And how does someone act
