SAVE America Act could make voting difficult for those with disabilities

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the SAVE America Act on February 11, 2026. Jon Meyers, Executive Director of the Arizona Developmental Disabilities Planning Council, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss how the Act could impact voters with disabilities.

Meyers said the act would require people to register to vote in person. This is something that could be a challenge or impossible for people with disabilities.

Voters would also be required to show a passport, ID or driver’s license to vote. These are documents people with disabilities may not be able to access or readily obtain. Meyers said not all polling locations have ideal access for people with mobility issues, sight or hearing impairments.
