Ohio PIRG New Voters Project
In fall 2004, Ohio PIRG and the state PIRGs sponsored the largest youth voter registration and voter mobilization campaign in history: the New Voters Project. The New Voters Project is a nonpartisan voter registration and get-out-the-vote campaign focused on 18- to 24- year-olds in 17 states, with a goal of registering nearly half a million new voters, and then turning out those youth to vote. By doing this, we set out to end the cycle of neglect that exists between politicians and young people, resulting in a meaningful impact on the future course of our country's democracy. More.
