Help Your Friends Vote 

Voting is a powerful tool when enough people participate. Casting each individual vote can be very difficult. In these unprecedented times, having the help and encouragement of a trusted friend or family member can make all the difference. By becoming a Captain, you can inspire others to help people in their communities make their voices heard.

Our mission is to help raise voter turnout in the U.S. so the government

better represents the people. We support a community of civically engaged Captains, who encourage people in their networks to vote with our effective method.

How It Works

Turnout Nation equips people who are passionate about voting, Captains, with the tools and info they need to mobilize their personal networks, and ultimately get more Americans to the polls. Your job, as a member of our community, is vital, but straightforward. Here’s how it works:

Attend a 20 Minute Zoom Orientation

on how to use our app to help your friends vote. 

Add Your Friends

Add the names of people you want to help vote. We won't sell anyone's data.

Ensure They're Registered

If any of them are not registered, you’ll work with them to get registered - we’ll give you the info you need. 

Make an Impact

An organizer will support you and the app will ensure you never miss an important deadline 

According to a Scientific American OpEd, we showed “the largest impacts on turnout of any experimentally tested get-out-the-vote study in recent memory.”

There's no doubt about it that we're living through a scary time, but it's these times where I turn to my friends. During our FaceTime catchups, we laugh, share struggles, and ground one another. These are my people, and I want them to be represented. If people can't vote, only a fraction of the population are making decisions that affect how we live, and that's the opposite of what democracy was made to be."

“An order of magnitude” better than traditional methods”

Our Approach Works

In randomized controlled trials, our method of friend-to-friend organizing was tested against traditional get-out-the-vote efforts:

​

• 10x more effective than door-to-door canvassing

​

• Increases turnout by 13.2% - largest GOTV effect measured in 2 decades

​

• Can be done safely online during the pandemic
