Three challenges to tackle in 2026
Voter registration
4 million citizens will turn 18 in 2026. Another 40 million Americans are going to move.
All of them will need to register to vote.
Voter turnout
Almost one third of presidential voters skip midterm elections.
That problem can only be solved with targeted GOTV programs.
Voter protection
The threats to our democracy are real, whether from hostile foreign interference or domestic election denial.
All Americans need to know their rights on Election Day.
