Every November, the nation celebrates and recognizes the vital role of family caregivers during National Family Caregivers Month. Family caregivers are the primary source of support for older adults and people with disabilities in the United States. They provide compassionate essential care which allows their loved ones to age with dignity in their communities.
A virtual community forum will be held on Friday, Nov. 15, from 11:30 a.m.- 1 p.m. to discuss accessible voting topics to include, but not limited to, voting options, ballot marking devices, and curbside voting.
The Fairfax Area Disability Services Board would like to hear from Fairfax County, City of Falls Church, and City of Fairfax residents with disabilities about their voting experience in 2024.
