iVote is a national voting rights organization dedicated to going on offense in battleground states to expand access to voting. The New York Times described iVote’s efforts as “the first major push to counter the Republican moves with a legislative strategy to expand voter rights.”
Since being founded in 2014, iVote has run independent expenditure and coordinated campaigns supporting Democratic candidates for secretary of state in Nevada, Colorado, Ohio, Michigan, New Mexico, Arizona, and Iowa. iVote led the campaign to pass automatic voter registration in Nevada and has run additional electoral and political campaigns in 11 states to pass automatic voter registration. iVote is a partner of Hillary Clinton's Onward Together organization.
Every American voter should be able to easily cast their ballot. I’m grateful that Onward Together partner iVote is working to help people vote early and more easily.”
