About the Organization
We are a nonprofit, nonpartisan initiative working to make voting easier with expanded access to mobile voting, especially in local and primary elections and for voters with inherent barriers to existing voting options. Since 2018, we have helped fund pilots in over 20 elections across seven states – Colorado, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia – primarily for a mixture of voters including UOCAVA and voters with disabilities. We are also supporting technology development to improve the security and transparency of technology for mobile voting. And we are engaging partners and grassroots supporters to build a movement to demand access to mobile voting and begin to enact expanded access, beginning in municipal elections.
Our team is a coalition of leaders from government, the private sector, and philanthropy, united by a shared commitment to strengthening our democratic system so it serves everyone.
