Just Released: Missing Voters Project: United States 2018
Who are America’s Missing Voters?
Missing voters are voting age citizens who do not vote in elections. Missing voters reflect the diversity of the United States as a whole. They are of all ages and races, of all educational backgrounds, and they live in every state across our nation.
​
What is the Missing Voters Project?
The mission of the Missing Voters Project is to educate community activists, public officials, journalists, teachers, and the public about missing voters. We do this by producing educational materials and sharing them widely to support nonpartisan voting participation efforts.
​
Why do Missing Voters Matter?
Unfortunately, low rates of voter participation have persisted in the United States for a long time. We believe that civic disengagement represents a fundamental threat to the separation of powers in our government, and to American democracy itself.
