Wheelchair users combined training and election

On a single voting day withтритбольная команда нижегородцев с ограниченными возможностями gathered for an unscheduled training on the basketball court at school number 117. Athletes decided to combine business with pleasure: and practice, and vote.

- Sochi annually hosts the Para-Art festival of culture and sports, we go there every year, - said the athlete, член NROOI "Invatur" Alexander Panov. - Last time we took the second place, but then they played on ordinary wheelchairs. После забега "Run, hero", which also involves wheelchair users, we were allocated new strollers, designed for playing basketball, because with a regular stroller there is a chance of falling. We are now mastering them and hope, that in Sochi we’ll take first place.

But voting training is not a hindrance, especially, when you can vote there, where convenient. Not all wheelchair basketball players are attached to a polling station, which is located in school number 117, but the Mobile Voter helped.

But the most important thing: didn't have to change my plans. ABOUT Mobile Voter я знала и раньше, a lot of information went about it through the media and it turned out to be very simple.

Athletes Do Not Miss Elections, because our future is in our hands.

- I think, which is very important to come to the polls and vote for, the candidate, which you consider necessary, - noted the teacher of additional education of school No. 117, member of NROOI "Invatur" Anastasia Druzhinina. - If we do not declare our choice, mean, we are indifferent to our problems, and we have, disabled, there are a lot of them. Not coming to the polls means being indifferent to yourself.
