Our Missing Voter Project aims to mobilize the 15% of young Black registered voters who voted in the last election and asking them to contact their registered friends who did not vote. The MVP will be scaled by county to fit funding. Our policy push will focus on the current political push to ban teaching South Carolina’s true, and sometimes painful, history in pubic schools.
After training, volunteers anywhere in South Carolina can get a list of phone numbers and addresses of the young voters in their community and mobilize them to find their missing peers who aren’t voting.
Our Election Protection Project launched in 2004 to help promote voting integrity. Since 2008, the Network has led the command center for the national Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights. People having trouble voting can call 866-OUR-VOTE for immediate, free assistance.
We need volunteers to post signs and monitor the state’s 2,300 precincts in 46 counties. We ask all of you to share the hotline with your networks.
