Voting Experiences I: Among young people with learning disabilities

From 2008 to 2010, an EU-project ''My opinion my vote – MOTE'' is implemented. The aim of the project is to increase the political participation among people with learning disabilities. A qualitative interview survey of three rounds among 20 persons with learning disabilities and professional teachers from each participating country on exercising political rights is to be carried out during the project period. This report presents the results of the first interview survey. The interview survey is focusing on political rights and voting, including decision-making processes when voting, voting on Election Day, and opportunities of being informed on political issues. This is the first of tree interview surveys.
