(866) OUR-VOTE

This hotline is sponsored by a broad coalition of civil rights organizations and is not disability specific, but all voters are encouraged to report issues this year regarding accessibility to voting. This is especially important given the number of new election directors and increasing poll worker turnover where a minor mistake could be construed negatively.

Hotline is in English, but website offers other languages. Hotline & Voter Info - Election Protection

Disability Map of Philadelphia

A map of disability characteristics in Philadelphia was created in partnership with the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities, Managing Director’s Office, and Philly Counts.

Within the map, you can add layers, including neighborhoods, City Council districts, and more to see specific disability data of those geographic areas. Additional layers of age, race, and ethnicity can also be viewed. The map data comes from the U.S. Census American Community Survey
