\nLong Distance Voter (longdistancevoter.org) is one of the most frequently visited sites on the internet for all things voting related. We’ve had over 4 million visitors to our site since launch, and reached another 30+ million via a 2014 partnership with Google. Two weeks ago we bought Vote.org and are getting ready to launch our most ambitious project to date. Our user-facing site will be the defacto online hub of all things voting. Our partner portal will provide critical infrastructure to every other group in civic engagement. Our R&D efforts will rapidly prototype and test ways to apply established technologies in innovative civic applications with proven potential for impact. \n\nWe’re on a mission to use technology to drastically increase voter turnout and we’re building the team to get us there.
