Connecting the dots in simple, non-partisan ways, making government and voting easier to understand.
Prepare2Vote is a resource hub for easy to follow information about how government and voting work, empowering people with the tools they need to advocate for what matters.
Ali Sabir of our Youth Ambassador program talks about why he got involved with Prepare2Vote.
We believe in the power of community.
When people get involved, they don’t just stand up for themselves—they fuel collective energy, inspire others, and help drive bold, lasting change. Let’s build that future together.

“...the very people who are most affected by issues, tend to shy away from bringing a voice to the table.”
Why we are here.
“No one should be embarrassed to ask what an elected official does. People want to be able to ask a simple question, and get a simple answer. Seems easy, but too often it isn’t. ”
“In this country a lot of young people feel shut out of the political process. Prepare2Vote is one of the few organizations doing a phenomenal job working to bring them back into the fold.”
“It’s important that we reach every community. We have to meet people where they are. No one should be left out of the process.”
A 2005 American Bar Association survey showed nearly half of Americans were unable to identify the three branches of government. In 2016 millions of people were not registered to vote, 64% of registered voters did not vote in the midterms, and 33% didn’t vote in the Presidential election. The majority of these people feel disconnected and that their vote is ineffective.
Prepare2Vote is here to make those connections. We believe that to encourage civic engagement, people need to understand the functions of government, the roles and powers of elected officials, and the voting process. And we will do that in fun, non-partisan ways, providing a space where folks can ask questions and get answers without feeling intimidated.
