VoteAmerica is a female-founded nonprofit organization led by a small team of election & technology experts (including the founders of Vote.org and Vote.gov), who have come together to drive record-shattering voter turnout. We accomplish this via targeted outreach to the millions of low and no-propensity voters generally neglected by partisan groups. Our mission is to provide access to trusted election information, open platform technology, and education programs to support and empower the most vulnerable voters to navigate the path to exercising their vote.The VoteAmerica theory of change is simple. Americans don't need to be convinced to vote, they need to be able to vote. We know that Americans will vote at higher rates, and more consistently, as voting becomes more convenient. We reject outright the idea that low voter turnout is due to voter apathy and instead acknowledge that low voter turnout is a result of decades of intentional voter suppression that works specifically to reduce turnout among the most economically and socially marginalized Americans. If we want to increase voter turnout, we need to systematically identify and remove roadblocks to voting. VoteAmerica runs programs, builds technology, and conducts research to help people of color, young adults, and unmarried women vote.
