TurnUp
PHYSICAL REGISTRATION & TURNOUT DRIVES
950,000+ young people in swing states will turn 18 in 2025 and only 30% of 18-year-olds were registered to vote in the last midterm election. Our goal is to register all of these new young voters and turn out all young voters 18-29 because they will make a critical impact on the 2026 and 2028 elections. TurnUp has found that student-led high school and community college voter registration and turnout drives are the most cost-effective mechanisms for dramatically increasing youth voter registration and turnout.
​
Based on our success in registering over 475,000 students since 2020, TurnUp is hiring students at 2,801 key high schools and 296 under-resourced community and technical colleges to conduct voter registration drives. TurnUp also hires community college students to conduct in-person turnout efforts.
