You Can Vote

You Can Vote is a pro-democracy, nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to increasing voter registration and turnout among North Carolinians facing barriers to full civic participation. Our mission is to educate and mobilize North Carolinians to take civic action, know their rights, and successfully cast a ballot in each election. We envision a fully representative democracy that strives for equality and justice for all North Carolinians. As a nonpartisan organization, we do not promote political parties, candidates or issues. You Can Vote was founded in 2014 following Shelby County v. Holder, 133 S. Ct. 2612, the Supreme Court decision rolling back key protections of the Voting Rights Act. We envision a fully representative democracy that strives for equality and justice for all North Carolinians. You Can Vote educates and mobilizes North Carolinians to take civic action, know their rights, and successfully cast a ballot in each election. You Can Vote began in 2014 as an all-volunteer effort that quickly grew due to the need for quality, fact-based education. Our focus is to increase civic participation of historically marginalized populations, including young people, people of color, low-income people, people who are currently and formerly incarcerated, individuals with disabilities, and new citizens.
