Who has the Capacity to Vote

Charles P. Sabatino and Sally Hurme have written an article entitled Who has Capacity to Vote?, 5 Nat’l College of Probate Judges 8 (2008).

The article discusses the right of persons with cognitive disabilities to vote. It gives an overview of the basic problems with current states’ laws that prevent these people from voting. It also points out some practical barriers older people in a face in trying to vote. E.g. not being able to drive to the polls or no one getting them an absentee ballot. The article then gives some insight on these problems should be addressed and remedied.
