915,000+ young people in key states and districts will turn 18 in 2026 and only 30% of 18-year-olds were registered to vote in the last midterm election. Our goal is to register all of these new young voters and turn out all young voters 18-29 because they will make a critical impact on the 2026 and 2028 elections. TurnUp has found that student-led high school and community college voter registration and turnout drives are the most cost-effective mechanisms for dramatically increasing youth voter registration and turnout.

​

Based on our success in registering over 240,000 students through on-campus voter registration programs, TurnUp is hiring students at 2,726 key high schools and 291 under-resourced community and technical colleges to conduct voter registration and turnout drives. TurnUp also hires community college students to conduct in-person turnout efforts.
