About the Virtual Town Hall:
On November 4, 2025, Californians will vote in a special election to decide if the state will change its current congressional districts and redraw a new map. This is a process called redistricting.
Members of Disability Rights California’s Voting Rights Practice Group and the League of Women Voters will share:
- an overview of voting options for voters with disabilities
- key dates for voter registration and casting a ballot
- information about what will be included on the ballot
Panelists:

Gabriel "Gabe" Taylor is the Senior Voting Rights Advocate with the Voting Rights Practice Group. Gabe currently serves as co-chair for both the Orange County and Los Angeles County Voting Accessibility Advisory Committees. He also serves on the VAAC committees in five other counties as well.
Gabe works with other counties in Southern California as a collaborator and trainer, by providing counties feedback on how to improve polling place accessibility, promoting best practices when assisting voters with disabilities. Through his work, Gabe hopes to engage people with disabilities, to empower them to get involved in the elections process and have a voice with their vote.
