Our Approach to Voter Engagement
To get more people out on Election Day, Community Votes builds on the methods voter research says are most effective. Our capacity building increases the confidence of nonprofit staff to implement nonpartisan voter outreach programs.
Our Services
Our approach is practical, grassroots and cost-effective. We understand many community-based service organizations work directly with citizens who traditionally don’t exercise their right to vote and are uniquely positioned to turn more citizens into voters.
Our services include:
