People with disabilities make up one of the largest voting blocs in California — and when we vote, we shape the future. Every election matters, and the upcoming Statewide Special Election on November 4, 2025 is no exception.

This election will give Californians the opportunity to approve or reject Proposition 50. Whether you cast your ballot by mail, at a secure drop box, or in person at a vote center, your voice will directly impact decisions that affect our communities.

As Secretary of State Shirley Weber reminds us: “Your participation in every election is vital to ensuring democracy thrives.” For the disability community, that participation is especially powerful. When we vote, we show lawmakers that people with disabilities and their families are watching, engaged, and ready to hold leaders accountable.

Key Dates:

    • October 20, 2025 – Last day to register to vote.
    • November 4, 2025 – Election Day.

Accessible voting options are in place to ensure every Californian can participate: universal vote-by-mail ballots, secure drop boxes, multiple in-person voting approaches, same-day voter registration, and provisional voting. Visit DisabilityVoteCA.org to register and learn more about accessible voting.

Now is the time to get informed, register if you haven’t already, and make your plan to vote. Together, we can demonstrate the full strength of California’s disability vote and ensure our community’s priorities are heard loud and clear.
