Description
Vot-ER is a national nonprofit founded in 2019 to strengthen U.S. democracy by embedding nonpartisan voter engagement into the healthcare system. Recognizing that hospitals, clinics, and community health centers are trusted institutions for millions of Americans, particularly underserved populations, Vot-ER equips healthcare providers and patients with the tools to register voters, check registration status, and access nonpartisan election information. With Corporation support, Vot-ER will scale its civic engagement activities, currently reaching more than a million patients and providers across the country. Together, these programs normalize civic engagement in trusted community spaces, institutionalize voter access within healthcare, and expand democratic participation among low-income and medically vulnerable populations.

Description
Today, more than 5o million voting-eligible adults are not registered to vote in the United States. This population is disproportionately comprised of the young, the poor, and communities of color. This demographic also disproportionately utilizes medical emergency services for non-urgent care, due to a lack of access to standard healthcare channels. Founded in 2019, Vot-ER is a nonpartisan initiative dedicated to increasing civic engagement among a population underrepresented in political discourse. Its community of 30,000 healthcare professionals and organizers has expanded into over five hundred hospitals and clinics, helping more than 47,000 Americans register and prepare to vote to date. With Corporation support, Vot-ER will expand its infrastructure and capacity to support the growing number of healthcare professionals across the country who are interested in engaging Americans in the civic process.
