Party at the Polls is an evidence-based, nonpartisan program designed to increase voter turnout in underrepresented communities. By organizing joyful, community-led events near polling sites, we encourage voters to make their voices heard and empower citizens to participate in the democratic process.

This program transforms voting from a solitary action into a community celebration for all, complete with music, food, and activities for people of all ages. By pairing targeted investments in parties in high impact areas with a robust direct voter contact program that leverages trusted messengers to educate and engage low propensity voters; our research over the last decade has shown that this tactic can increase voter turnout by 2–4 percentage points.

When We All Vote will provide party hosts with a suite of resources including a step-by-step host guide, sample promotional materials, training, and technical assistance. We need research help to create these materials for the 100+ counties we plan to support!

Volunteers will be assigned states or counties and complete a template of information helpful to party hosts. Topics range from local rules and procedures for events to voter eligibility and voting procedures to how to report issues or concerns to election protection programs.

Volunteers are encouraged to complete research for more than one jurisdiction, but the specific number is flexible!
