NDRN’s Letter for the Subcommittee on Elections Hearing on Voting Rights in the US Territories

The National Disability Rights Network submitted a letter to the Subcommittee on Elections of the Committee on House Administration ahead of its July 28, 2020 hearing on “Voting Rights And Election Administration In The U.S. Virgin Islands And Other Territories.” The letter urges Congress to swiftly pass H.R. 5510, the Protection and Advocacy for Voting Access Program Inclusion Act or the PAVA Program Inclusion Act, authorizing the distribution of grant funds to the Northern Mariana Islands and American Indian Consortium P&As to ensure that every Protection and Advocacy system (P&A) across the US can advocate on behalf of voters with disabilities.
