WASHINGTON — Today, the Alliance for Youth Action is reintroducing its nationwide Democracy Done Right campaign, dedicated to building and strengthening voting systems for all Americans. The campaign is based on a simple idea: Every citizen should be automatically registered to vote, get to cast their ballot in a secure, accessible way that fits their needs, and never ever have their right to vote taken away for any reason. 

Join us for this last week of August as we bring you state and national information on all things voting and what we’re doing on the ground. The week will culminate in the official release of our most recent polling results, sharing sentiments from young voters across key battleground states.

Check out our lineup of updates and actions planned throughout our week of action:

The opinions and views of young people are essential to keeping our democracy alive, and essential to making meaningful change. We polled young voters in battleground states. Check back next week for our most recent findings!

As America sets the pace for the world being a big, brilliantly diverse nation, why is our voting system a better fit for 19th century white landowners? Let’s take action now. Help protect our democracy and make sure you and your community is #voteready. Let’s get democracy done right together!
