Rock the Vote is a nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) nonprofit that builds youth political power and drives young people to the polls. For over 25 years, Rock the Vote has fused pop culture, music, art, and technology to create a culture of civic engagement for young people. During the past seven Presidential elections, Rock the Vote ran the largest nonprofit voter registration drives for young people, adding more than eight million new voters to the rolls. With proven tactics, we turn out our registrants at a rate of 81%, more than 30 points above the national youth turnout average, with 60% voting for the first time.
