Adopt voters now and get your letters ready, but hold off on mailing! Our mailing window runs October 1–24, so letters arrive when they'll have the most impact on voter turnout. Adopting early gives you plenty of time to write and prep. Ready? ⏩ votefwd.org/get-involved

In Vote Forward’s upcoming campaign Ground Truth Civic Action Follow-Up Letters, we’ll work together to write letters to voters who have had conversations with canvassers about their vote and what they care about. votefwd.org/get-involved#groundtruth
Ground Truth Civic Action Follow-Up Letters graphic featuring text: "Experiment: A single conversation between a canvasser and a voter on the doors may not be enough to convince a skeptical voter. But when a Swing Left Ground Truth canvasser has a real conversation with someone about what they care about, and a Vote Forward volunteer follows up with a letter that picks up where that conversation left off, we can move people along the path to participation in democracy. Vote Forward hypothesis: A tailored letter after a real conversation supports voter turn out more effectively than either tactic alone."

This year, Vote Forward’s launching brand-new campaigns to help rebuild trust in government and increase voter participation. Over the next few weeks, we'll share exactly how you can get involved—starting with Down-Ballot Election Integrity Letters. votefwd.org/get-involved#downballot
A poster titled "Down-Ballot Election Integrity Letters" with the following text: "Experiment: Do you know your county clerk? Election board member? Most Americans have never heard of the people who run their elections, but these down-ballot officials make the decisions that determine whether democracy holds. Write letters in a curated slate of races where turnout is low, and noise is lower—the elections where Vote Forward letters have the strongest evidence of turning out voters. Vote Forward hypothesis: Letters for races down the ballot increase turnout in elections critical for democracy protection."

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.

This is what it’s all about: working together, learning as we go, and knowing we’re doing our part to protect democracy.
“I often wonder about the effectiveness of the things I do, and with Vote Forward, I don't have to guess. Not every campaign necessarily works out, but the team has always been honest about it. In recent years, Vote Forward has focused on trying new things to find what will work for the current day, and that's thanks to research results and all the volunteer feedback. It's hard to stay hopeful, but knowing that I'm part of an active, evolving effort to make all of our lives better helps me sleep at night.”

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.

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.

We don’t rely on guesswork. Every year, we run strategic experiments so we can understand what actually mobilizes voters. That means we share what works, what doesn’t, and what we’re still learning. Because the pro-democracy movement needs clarity, not confidence without evidence.
