  1. Overview of Tennessee Train-the-Trainer Workshop on the ADA and Voting

During this first session, participants will learn about Tennessee’s Train-the-Trainer workshop on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Voting, which was conducted virtually in June 2022. The workshop provided information on the ADA National Network and ADA General Requirements; data on voters with disabilities, turnout, impact of pandemic, and barriers; voting rights history, rights/responsibilities, Disability Rights Tennessee polling site survey results, and resources. Presenters will also share their promotional resources, materials provided to registrants pre- and post-workshop, the voter agreement and training verification form, and outcomes of the training.

  1. Replicating Tennessee Train-the-Trainer Workshop on the ADA and Voting

This is a follow-up to the August 10 session which presented an overview of the Tennessee’s ADA and Voting workshop.

The template content includes: the ADA National Network and ADA General Requirements, data on voters with disabilities, turnout, the impact of pandemic, barriers to voting, voting rights history, rights/responsibilities, polling site survey results, promotional and training materials, and civic engagement resources.
