StudentVote.org is a project of the Student PIRGs' New Voters Project and our voter registration partners.

The New Voters Project is a nonpartisan effort to register young people and get them to the polls on Election Day. Since launching the New Voters Project in late 2003, we have been doing this work for two reasons. First, we believe democracy is strongest when citizens participate and for too long, young people haven't been full participants. Second, we believe the best way to get political leaders to pay attention to young people and their issues is to demonstrate that young people are a viable constituency that can be mobilized using tried and true techniques.

Our project has been endorsed by political leaders of every ideological persuasion, including our advisory board members Frank Fahrenkopf and Walter Mondale, as well as nonpartisan civic leaders, colleges and universities, and local businesses.

We are a 501(c)(3) organization. We do not endorse any candidate or party and we do not take a stand on any legislation. Our job is to get young people to the polls. It is up to candidates to convince them who to vote for.
