This event is different!

In less than 60 minutes, you'll walk through all the steps toward voting and we'll do them together, rather than sending you home with a long list of steps to complete later. Super-hands-on and no panel discussion or speakers! We'll answer questions specific to your state's election laws and you'll leave with your ballet and a plan to vote!

How IssueVoter works:

IssueVoter makes information accessible and actionable with customized alerts *before* Congress votes and translates bills into layman’s terms with points from *both* sides. It is the only platform that provides a personalized representative scorecard, helping individuals keep politicians accountable and become more informed voters at the next election.

Impact:
IssueVoter has sent over four million alerts to individuals and opinions back to Congress from individuals across all 435 Congressional Districts andD.C.. As a direct result, 37% of people using IssueVoter cited IssueVoter as the reason they voted in the first place. In other words, they wouldn’t have voted without IssueVoter. IssueVoter drives voter turnout. Plus, 74% were exposed to new viewpoints, 83% inspired to take additional forms of civic action, and 89% learned about new issues for the first time.

How it started:
Founder Maria Yuan first envisioned IssueVoter while managing a StateSenate campaign in Iowa, a battleground state known for its voter engagement. Having previously worked in the State Capitol as a legislative aide, she saw how sparingly voters contacted their representatives despite the importance of constituent input. She wondered how she could extend engagement, help everyone understand the laws that affect their daily lives, keep elected officials accountable, and encourage people to take action in the most effective way. IssueVoter launched in 2016 with the hope of answering the question, “The election is over, now what?”
