Last week, The Arc Erie County hosted a voter education event where the people we support learned all about the voting process, how to cast a ballot in an accessible voting machine, and most importantly, their voting rights. 🗳️

The 2026 Sandwich Election was a CLOSE ONE! 🥪
Both Bologna and Peanut Butter & Jelly gave compelling reasons during the debate as to why they should get your vote. Watch until the end to see who the official winner was! 🏆

Thank you Frank Cammarata (Executive Director Erie County Office for People with Disabilities), Todd Vaawerk (Chief Policy Officer ), Sam Mattle (Executive Director ), Marc Safman (Disability Inclusion Strategist ), Jessica Overholt & Bob Hellwitz (Erie County Board of Elections), and our own Sarah DiChristina (Self-Advocacy Manager at The Arc Erie County) for making this such a successful event! 🧡
