We imagine a country where every American receives the support they need to participate in democracy—and where volunteers can take proven actions to strengthen it. This is how we do it.

The image is an informational poster with the heading "GET TO KNOW VoteFwd" featuring three main objectives: "Meeting people’s material needs," "Rebuilding trust in government," and "Turning out voters." Each objective is briefly described.

At Vote Forward, we believe the act of volunteering—regular people doing real work for their neighbors and their democracy—is itself part of the civic infrastructure we must strengthen to have a thriving democracy.

There’s too much at stake in November and beyond to solely rely on traditional voter contact. We’re hard at work developing new and innovative tactics to understand what kinds of support help more people successfully participate in democracy. More is coming soon. 👀

Registering to vote is only the first step. For many first-time voters, figuring out how and when to vote can be the hardest part. That’s why we’re launching New Voter Guides in the critical state of Pennsylvania—combining handwritten encouragement with practical voting information.

Civic participation doesn’t happen in isolation. Too often, real-life challenges can make participating in elections harder for voters. That’s why Vote Forward is launching Community Support Letters in Virginia—connecting voters with voting information and community resources.

Every election cycle, millions of people register to vote for the first time. But the logistics can feel confusing: where to go, when to vote, how to make a plan. That’s why we're launching New Voter Guides in Pennsylvania to help new voters turn the intention to vote into a plan.

Different voters face different barriers to participating in elections. Some need help navigating the voting process. Others need support overcoming practical challenges. Today we’re launching two new campaigns designed to meet voters where they are.

In our latest Vote Forward community survey, one volunteer wrote: “I like channeling my election anxiety into action.” Thousands of people told us they’re ready for meaningful ways to take action when the stakes for democracy are high. We heard you. Stay tuned.

Last month, more than 2,000 members of the Vote Forward community shared feedback in our strategy survey—and the message was clear: People want to know their time is making a real impact. We heard you. Stay tuned.

At Vote Forward, we don’t rely on assumptions. We use evidence to guide our work—measuring impact and sharing what we learn, so our efforts to strengthen democracy are as effective as possible.

Innovation isn’t about chasing shiny ideas. It’s about grounding our work in evidence, learning from real results, and continually strengthening and evolving how we engage voters over time. That’s what we’re focused on heading into 2026.
