Overview
- The initiative begins with at least $2 million for organizer training in Arizona and Nevada, which the DNC describes as the start of its largest voter-registration effort to date.
- The party is taking control of registration work long handled by legally nonpartisan groups, with leaders saying a partisan approach is needed to compete for Congress.
- Organizing will prioritize non-college young people, voters of color, and working-class communities that drifted from Democrats in 2024.
- A paid When We Count Fellowship will launch its first cohorts in spring 2026, recruiting and training more than 100 young organizers to register tens of thousands of voters.
- The DNC plans four National Voter Registration Weeks of Action in 2026 and intends to scale the program to close registration gaps in battleground House districts.
