It is disturbing to learn from a recent article “Keeping the ‘Mentally Incompetent’ from Voting” by health reporter Kimberly Leonard in The Atlantic Magazine, that the majority of states, have laws that limit the rights of people with disabilities to vote. Please see the link to the article here:
In Connecticut, the rights of a person with a disability to vote can only be curtailed by a Probate Court order that specifically limits the right to vote. Otherwise a person with a disability who is over the age of 18 and has registered to vote has the unqualified right to vote. The Connecticut Secretary of State’s Office has a voter’s guide available in English and Spanish for individuals with disabilities that may be found on that agency’s website.
