Join us this March to help make your campus vote-ready for the 2022 midterm elections!


March is New Voters Project Month and we need YOU!

The 2020 election was a record-breaking success that saw youth turnout reach its highest point in years. But the increase in turnout didn’t happen on its own. Coalitions of students, campus leaders, and youth vote organizations came together to ensure that young people turned out in a big way! We are calling on everyone to help campuses keep that momentum going!

The Student PIRGs’ New Voters Project and our partners are hosting trainings, webinars, and voter mobilization challenges over the course of March to help college students get vote ready for the midterm election. RSVP today!

The Student PIRGs voter registration and turnout effort is part of its New Voters Project campaign, one of the largest nonpartisan youth voter mobilization efforts in the country. The Student PIRGs’ New Voters Project has run peer-to-peer student voter mobilization drives to turn out the youth vote on college campuses for more than 30 years. Its philosophy is that the full participation of young people in the political process is essential to a truly representative, vibrant democracy. The New Voters Project does not endorse, either explicitly or implicitly, a political candidate or political party for elected office.
