Disability Rights and Elections Project

 This project seeks to enhance the Participation and voices of Persons with Disabilities especially youth (PWDs) for Accountability and Transparency in Local Governance

 
 The UNCRPD article 29 states that persons with disabilities, must participate in political and public life and that States Parties shall guarantee to persons with disabilities political rights and the opportunity to enjoy them on an equal basis with others. This takes into consideration the rights of persons with disabilities to vote and be elected and ensure that voting procedures, facilities and materials are appropriate, accessible and easy to understand and use.
