Project Vote (or Voting for America, Inc.[1]) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization that provides services related to voter engagement and participation in low-income and minority communities. Project Vote was founded in 1982 as a voter mobilization arm of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).[2][3][4] Its founder and first executive director was Sandy Newman,[5][6] and its executive director since 2004 has been Michael Slater.[7]
Project Vote has worked with organizations such as ACORN,[8] Demos, National Voting Rights Institute, Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, Fair Elections Legal Network with respect to the implementation of voter registration programs, and engages in litigation for enforcement of the National Voter Registration Act.[9]
One of Project Vote's most successful voter registration drives was directed by United States presidential candidate Barack Obama in Illinois during 1992; efforts led by Project Vote registered 150,000 previously unregistered, mostly African American, voters.[10]
