Vote.org planning its largest voter-registration campaign ever [View all]

Vote.org is launching its largest-ever voter registration campaign, aimed at adding 8 million voters for the 2024 cycle, the nonpartisan voter engagement organization announced on Friday.

“With near daily reporting about young people and people of color feeling disillusioned with this year’s elections, a nationwide movement to engage and help them register to vote has never been more important,” said Andrea Hailey, CEO of Vote.org, in a statement.

The group is “putting our full might behind this effort for one reason: the stakes for our democracy have never been higher,” Hailey said.

With a $25 million budget – which Vote.org says is “the single largest dedicated voter registration expenditure in history” – the group is is vying to register more young voters and voters of color in particular, blocs that could be critical in a competitive presidential race.
