Advocacy

Voter registration table for Chatham County at Celebrate Abilities event

Voting in local, state and federal elections as a vital part of advocacy

Advocacy continues to be an integral part of LIFE’s programs and services.  The ultimate goal of all advocacy efforts is to create an integrated society that is barrier free.

Do you have an issue, idea or solution you would like to share with your state and federal elected officials, but you’re not sure who they are or how to contact them? Find out who represents you by going to https://pluralpolicy.com/open/

Georgia Advocacy Center

This private, non-profit works with community partners to advocate for people with disabilities. A big part of that advocacy is voting.

Q&A about voting in Georgia for people with disabilities:

Q: Can I vote if I have an intellectual disability?
A: Yes.

Q: Can I vote if I have a guardian?
A: Yes, unless a judge said you can’t vote.

Q: How do I know if a judge says I can’t vote?
A: Ask your guardian. If your guardian won’t or can’t tell you, talk to resource advocate at the Georgia Advocacy Office.

Q: How do I reach a resource advocate?
A: The Call the Georgia Advocacy Office at 800-537-2329 or email info@thegao.org.

More information can be found on the website: thegao.org
