TurnUp
PHYSICAL REGISTRATION & TURNOUT DRIVES
880,000+ young people in swing states will turn 18 in 2024 but only 30% of 18-year-olds are registered to vote. 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 election results. 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 50,000 students to vote through conducting physical voter registration drives at 1,000 key high schools and 100 key community colleges, TurnUp is hiring students at 2,717 key high schools and 296 under-resourced community and technical colleges to conduct voter registration drives. TurnUp is also hiring community college students to conduct in-person turnout efforts.
