Comment : | Recommendation: We recommend that the guidelines should recognize that accessibility for people with cognitive and psychiatric disabilities includes preventing the denial of access to registration and voting for individuals who have the capacity to vote. Individuals are routinely denied access to registration and/or voting based on mental disabilities, often despite the fact that they meet state voter qualifications.
