In 2025, the Vote Forward community wrote 873K+ letters, introduced new voter engagement tactics, and welcomed thousands of new volunteers. Now we’re analyzing what we learned—and getting ready for what’s next. Stay tuned 👀

At Vote Forward, transparency isn’t a slogan—it’s a practice. We’re committed to sharing everything we learn from our campaigns with the community that powered the work. That’s how we improve, together.

Ever wondered how we know if a voter turnout tactic actually works? We test it. Using randomized controlled trials (RCTs), we compare what happens when some voters get outreach and others don’t—no guesswork, just evidence.

Democracy is a collective effort. We strengthen participation by working side by side—testing new approaches, sharing transparent results, and learning together. Every person in the Vote Forward community helps shape what comes next. And together, we make a measurable impact.

Together, we’re building a smarter, stronger pro-democracy movement for the years ahead.

This year and every year, we're thankful for the Vote Forward community.

We don’t rely on guesswork. Every year, we run strategic experiments so we can understand what actually mobilizes voters. That means we share what works, what doesn’t, and what we’re still learning. Because the pro-democracy movement needs clarity, not confidence without evidence.

Vote Forward volunteers are the power behind cutting-edge, innovative voter contact. Thanks to this community, we’re testing new ways to connect with voters, share our learnings, and strengthen participation in crucial elections. We’re learning. We’re refining. And we’re building what comes next.

We’re building and rigorously testing the future of voter mobilization. Want to be a part of our next experiment when it launches? Get started here:

Since 2017, Vote Forward volunteers have powered some of the largest experiments in civic engagement, helping the pro-democracy movement understand which tactics drive turnout.
