The Voter Participation Center recently mailed more than 3 million voter registration applications in 24 states. IN NORTH CAROLINA, WEST VIRGINIA, OREGON, AND KENTUCKY THESE APPLICATIONS CANNOT BE USED TO REGISTER FOR THE UPCOMING PRIMARY. Residents in these states may use these voter registration applications to register for the general election.

Women’s Voices. Women Vote has created the Voter Participation Center to help WVWV register and motivate unmarried women, and other under-represented groups, to participate in the democratic process. WVWV and the Voter Participation Center are working to give a voice to the 20 million single women who did not vote in the 2004 election. Unmarried women are the fastest growing, large demographic in our country, yet they fail to register and vote at same rate as their married sisters.

WVWV and the Voter Participation Center have teamed up to encourage unmarried women and other under-represented groups to take an active role in their country, by registering to vote, voting and making their voices heard in the policy process. The Voter Participation Center is reaching out to underrepresented groups by making registering and participating as easy as possible. VPC mailings include important voting information and useful resources, such as an actual voter registration form.

The Voter Participation Center is a project of Women’s Voices. Women Vote. The Voter Participation Center works to study ways to encourage voting and to increase participation in the electorate. The Voter Participation Center is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that does not support any candidate.
