Every Vote Counts
Every Vote Counts (EVC) is a student-led, nonpartisan organization that advocates for increased voter turnout and expanded voter access in the United States.[1][2][3]
EVC maintains student chapters at Yale University and other college campuses that are “dedicated to tackling systemic problems in the United States’ voting system.”[4][5] The chapters focus on voter mobilization, civic engagement, and legislative policy.[6][4]
2018 Midterms[edit]
In October 2018, EVC released a "National Pledge to Vote," urging voters to announce their plans to vote in the upcoming midterm elections.[1][7] That same month, EVC president Harold Ekeh and program director Campbell Streator published an op-ed column in The Hill, arguing that "now is the time to reverse the voter apathy that has plagued our elections for decades."[8][9]
