Empowering Voices Through Voting
“Do you Hear the People Sing"
Step up and make your voice heard with the "Do You Hear the People Sing Initiative!" This exciting program is all about empowering young people to get involved in the democratic process. Even if you're 16, you can help shape the future by registering to vote early, volunteering during elections, or writing postcards to spread the word. Join us in this vibrant movement to make a difference and show that every voice counts in building a better tomorrow!
Progressive Turnout Project is the largest voter contact organization in the country, specifically dedicated to mobilizing the Democratic Party and defending democracy. It's easy and a fun project for families, youth groups, ladies night, neighborhood organizations, or individuals. You sign up, they send you free postcards, a voter list and instructions with proven messages. You provide the stamps and mail the cards to voters. You’ll help rally Democrats to vote across the country, from presidential swing states to competitive state legislative districts.

Each state and territory sets its own rules for registering to vote. You may be able to:
-
Register online: Most states offer online registration. Select your state or territory to find out if you can register online.
-
Register by mail: You can download and print the National Mail Voter Registration Form for use in every state except New Hampshire, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The form is available in many languages.
-
Register in person: You can register in person at your state or local election office or your state motor vehicles office.
​
​
You can pre-register before you turn 18 in most states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, but you must be 18 to vote. Several states allow you to vote in primary elections at the age of 17 if you will be 18 before the general election. Learn more about your state’s rules and find upcoming election dates in your area on your state’s election website. ​https://vote.gov/
