REV UP – Register! Educate! Vote! Use your Power!

I have the right to take part in civic life.

We are actively fighting for the fair and civic inclusion of people with disabilities in every political, social, and economic front. REV Up aims to increase the number of people with disabilities who vote. We have what you need to Register to Vote, to get Educated on the issues, and to Vote. We are non-partisan, and invite voters of any party to join our efforts.

Disability issues need your support. Who you vote for impacts your access to healthcare, education, transportation and the list goes on. We need your vote! Register to vote and sign up with REV UP. Join our voices as we support disability issues.

2025 Voting Calendar

While there are no federal elections in MA this year, there are many local Upcoming Elections. These municipal elections impact local life. You need to be registered to vote at least 10 days before an election.

55 communities will hold biennial municipal elections in November of each odd-numbered year.

Inactive Voters

Even if you have voted in the past, we recommend that everyone check their registration status.

We have recently seen an uptick in the enforcement of inactive voters. Annually, every town sends out a City/Town Census (aka Annual Street List). If a household does not answer and return this document by June, their voter registrations’ status is changed to Inactive.

Inactive voters can still vote by bringing identification to their polling place or Town Meeting. Each inactive voter needs to fill out an Affirmation of Current and Continuous Residence. This allows them to cast a ballot and be added to the active voter list.

If a person does not vote in two consecutive federal elections while inactive, they will no longer be registered to vote. You should register to vote again.

We all Have a Right to be Engaged

Marlene Sallo, former ED of Disability Law Center, was interviewed by WGBH on election day 2020. Watch the video and read the Marlene’s interview.

“Her team’s efforts to ensure that this year’s elections were accessible to all voters began nearly a year ago, when the Disability Law Center started working with state and local officials to ensure that the language used for mail-in voting met the same accessibility standards as those for voting in person. Given health and safety considerations due to the coronavorus pandemic, it became even more important to ensure that all voters could safely cast their ballots, whether at the polls or from home.

“Don’t we all have the right to vote independently and privately?” she said. “Someone with a disability should not have less of a right than someone without a disability.”

Why is the Disability Vote so important?
