The team behind Vote Early Day has released their 2023 annual report highlighting record breaking participation and early voting turnout. Nearly 4,600 organizations across America have celebrated Vote Early Day since this civic holiday was founded in 2020. In a year defined as an “off-year” election, organizations turned out in force to organize events encouraging their friends and neighbors to vote early. This coalition included national name brands like MTV, Patagonia, Paramount, the NBA, The League of Women Voters, Snapchat, YMCA, NAACP, and many more. On the ground, local nonprofits, businesses, campus groups, election leaders, and libraries organized in their communities to increase the number of ballots cast ahead of Election Day.
