Election Accessibility for Municipalities
DRM offers trainings to election officials and poll workers on polling place accessibility requirements and the best practices for interacting with voters with disabilities.
Please note, DRM cannot provide legal advice or an official opinion that a polling place is fully accessible. To check that your polling place is in compliance of the law, please utilize the “2016 ADA Polling Place Checklist” published by the United States Department of Justice.
If your municipality would like to receive this training for election staff, please contact DRM.
Maine Rev Up Coalition
The Maine REV UP Coalition works together to build the power of the disability vote. We do this by helping more people with disabilities get involved in voting and making sure elections are accessible to everyone. REV UP is a project of the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD). There are coalitions in over 20 states across the country.
Our Shared Goals
- Encourage people with disabilities to register to vote and participate in elections.
- Teach the disability community about their voting rights and how to vote.
- Work to make elections more accessible for people with disabilities.
- Make sure policymakers listen to the disability community about voting issues.

Who We Are
The Maine REV UP Coalition is made up of organizations and individuals who care about increasing civic engagement in the disability community and improving voting access. To become involved, contact Katrina Ringrose at kringrose@drme.org.
