Hi John —

Every day, over 10,000 young people turn 18 and become eligible to vote. That's a mind-blowing 4 million new voters each year! This is an incredible opportunity to expand and diversify the electorate.

But here's the problem: these new voters are navigating a complicated registration and election process. This needs our attention – and we believe in being solution-minded, so we’re turning this obstacle into an opportunity.

At Rock the Vote, we’re on a mission to streamline the process, starting with the first barrier a new voter encounters: voter registration. We've got a solution that's going to make a huge difference: it's called Connected Voter Registration, and it's a game-changer for young people and other historically underrepresented voters across the country.

Registering to vote or updating your registration shouldn't feel like cracking a secret code – yet, first-time voters find themselves lost in a maze of confusing forms, cryptic instructions, and bureaucratic red tape. Sometimes, they even show up to vote not realizing they had to register – or thinking they’d registered to vote, only to find out they aren’t.

Connected Voter Registration removes all the unnecessary hassle by allowing trusted third-party organizations to seamlessly register voters online and in the field. It's all about making voter registration seamless and intuitive, just like everything else in our digital lives.

Here's the exciting part: the impact of this goes way beyond registration. When we get young people registered, we're setting the stage for a tidal wave of change for years to come. It's a domino effect that turns millions of young people into habitual voters, shaping the future of our elections in 2024, 2026, and beyond.

With a proven track record of registering 14 million voters to date, Rock the Vote knows how to engage and mobilize young people. Connected Voter Registration is a revolutionary way to meet this generation where they’re at: on their phones, on social media, and on the go. And we need your help to spread the word and make an even bigger impact.

Can we count on you to read our report and share it far and wide? We need everyone to understand the importance and value of this work. Time is of the essence, as countless young people are in dire need of assistance before 2024. Together, let's make a lasting difference.

Thanks for being a vital part of our mission.
