1. Purpose

We need your help to learn more about your voting experience for the 2016 Election.  The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) was passed to make sure everyone in this country could cast a private and independent vote.  Now, we want to make sure the law is working.  You can help by completing this survey.  We have several ways for you to do that.  You can go on-line at the Self Advocates Becoming Empowered website, www.sabeusa.org or your state Protection and Advocacy organization website.  You can do this independently or with help from someone, you choose.  

If you have any problems completing the survey using the internet, immediately contact Juliana Huerena at prinzajana17@gmail.com or (602) 502-7426.

Not everyone has access to a computer or the internet; so many self advocacy groups across the country are helping members complete the survey by filling it out by hand or at self advocacy meetings and conferences.  Surveys completed by hand need to be returned to your state or local Self Advocacy group or your state Protection and Advocacy organization. You may also reach out to the SABE Voter team and complete a survey with them.  You can reach Teresa Moore at mooreadvocacy@hotmail.com, (602)725-3117.

If you have surveys completed by hand you can mail or email them to:  Essie Pederson, 5242 Sunrise View Circle, Liberty Township, OH 45044 or essie.pederson@gmail.com .

Any problems making copies of the survey for meetings or postage to mail them to Essie; contact your state Protection and Advocacy organization or Teresa Moore, SABE Voter staff person at (602) 725-3117.

Every attempt has been made with this survey to take under consideration every states voting rules and regulations.  If we have failed to do so, please let us know.  Just as it is important to know that YOUR VOTE COUNTS, we need to know that you have the accessibility you need to MAKE IT COUNT. 

Thank you, the SABE Voter Team
