More than 35 million eligible voters in the U.S. have a disability. And in the last presidential election, almost a third of voters with disabilities reported having trouble casting their ballots.

Four activists explain why people with disabilities need to vote. One reason: policies that are directly affecting them and their rights.

Though people with disabilities comprise about one-sixth of eligible voters, they have low voter turnout, likely due to the physical barriers they experience when trying to reach the ballot box.

A federal judge late Friday blocked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's directive that limited ballot drop boxes to one per county.

A series of efforts by Texas Republicans to make access to voting more difficult in the final stretch of the fall campaign comes as the party's lock on the state's politics is getting looser.

Over 40 states have absentee ballot applications that are not fully accessible to millions of disabled voters, according to a new audit.
