Voting by the Numbers:
Nearly 56% of the US voting-age population cast ballots in the 2016 election.
Approximately 157.6 million people reported being registered to vote in 2016, out of an estimated 245.5 million Americans 18 and older.

In important elections, every vote counts. America works better when Americans vote, but Americans can't vote unless they are registered. There are millions of employees across the US who have not registered to vote. People don't register because they forget, or it's too complicated or time-consuming, or perhaps they have moved and just haven't updated their voter registration. The truth is that registering to vote is simple and doesn't take much time or effort.
Private sector organizations unite to work toward our common goal during Employee Voter Registration Week (EVRW), September 23 – 27. The initiative does not tell employees how to vote or who to vote for; instead it provides information to help employers encourage voter registration.
Employee Voter Registration Week is powered by BIPAC, a nonpartisan, membership-driven organization dedicated to helping private sector employers and employees to be engaged in the political process.
