The report

European Disability Forum is an organisation who represents the rights of persons with disabilities. It brings together representative organisations of persons with disabilities from across Europe.

The sixth edition of the EDF’s Human Rights Report focuses on the rights of persons with disabilities to vote and to stand as candidates in the European Parliament elections.

It explores the legal and practical barriers that prevent millions of persons with disabilities from exercising the same political rights as other EU citizens and highlights consequences, such as the underrepresentation in politics of persons with disabilities.
