Turnout Nation is a progressive non-partisan, non-profit, fiscally sponsored organization. We are dedicated to increasing voter turnout in US elections by supporting volunteers who each help a designated group of friends, neighbors, classmates, or relatives to vote. Turnout Nation volunteers, also known as “Voting Captains,” have produced the highest percentage point increase in voter turnout to ever result from a randomized control trial. Our 2023 focus is to improve, test, and grow our effective volunteer program in battleground states among young voters and voters of color.
