The survey was conducted between May 26th and June 12th and was answered by 307 persons with disabilities. Promoted by the National Monitoring Mechanism of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (Me-CDPD), in collaboration with the Disability and Human Rights Observatory (ODDH), it shows that 68.1% of the surveyed went to vote, 25.7% did not try to vote, and 6.2% said that they tried to vote, but did not succeed.

Among the highlighted difficulties related to the exercise of voting rights, are the following: "Not voting was my decision", "I did not have transportation to the polling station", "I have difficulty in understanding or filling out the ballot paper","I need help voting and did not know that I could vote accompanied" and "My polling place was not accessible".
