Overview

Democracy is strongest when everyone participates. Yet ever since gaining the right to vote in 1972, voter turnout among young people has been significantly lower than the rest of the population. Young potential voters feel excluded, disenfranchised and cynical about the participating in the electoral process.

MoPIRGs New Voters Project aims to engage and inspire our nation’s young people by educating them about the voting process, training young activists of all ideological persuasions and, most importantly, aggressively registering young new voters from all walks of life. The New Voters Project is a non-partisan effort that champions no legislation or candidates. The project’s only goal is to register as many young people as possible.
