Targeted Voter Registration
Democracy won't fix itself!
Help shape the progressive future of your community.
Whether you’re a political candidate or representing a national Political Action Committee or Nonprofit, Civitech helps identify, register, and engage voters to support you or your cause.
For individual listeners looking to take immediate action , FundMap helps you directly contribute to the mission of registering Democratic and progressive voters in your community.
How many unregistered voters are in your state?
Every state has thousands (sometimes millions!) of unregistered voters. And just because it’s not a midterm or presidential year doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter. There are elections happening all the time, and every one of them matters. There are no off years when it comes to our democracy.

Civitech is trusted by political and nonprofit leaders
The stakes are higher than ever, and we lost ground nationwide in 2024.
MAGA candidates are winning by default
Voters feel ignored and stay home, letting far-right candidates coast to victory.
Millions of likely Democrats still aren’t registered to vote
These voters are reachable. We know where they are and how to get them registered.
Traditional voter outreach mobilizes the opposition
Site-based registration drives are open to everyone, including Republicans. Nobody wants that!
What we learned last year
In 2024, Democrats aimed to register nearly 2 million voters. Instead, they fell short with just 517,000. Meanwhile, Republicans ran aggressive programs and registered 2.5 million, exceeding projections. The result? The Trump administration is acting without oversight or accountability with a MAGA Congress.
Effective, targeted, and scalable
Registering your supporters, made simple.
The next election in your community could be decided by voters who haven’t even registered yet.
You have the power to change that.
With the right tools, you can reach unregistered voters and make a real impact, no massive team or big budget required.
We’ll give you the data, tools, and support to help you register voters at scale, right where it matters most.
Advanced Partisan Modeling
We use our proprietary database with partisan modeling to identify the people most likely to support progressive candidates.
Direct Mail Best Practices
Our voter registration mail is tested and proven, with clear calls to register and easy-to-follow instructions that drive action.
SMS Follow-Ups
Text messages reinforce the mail and keep voters engaged, increasing the likelihood that they will register.
Real-Time Tracking
Our platform lets you monitor progress as it happens, so you can track registrations, measure impact, and adjust your outreach in real time.
How Civitech Helps
Reach Unregistered, New, and Infrequent Voters
Many Democratically-aligned voters in your region aren’t on the rolls, often because they’re new to voting, changed their name/address, or forgot they needed to. Our work helps you find these voters and reach them with tailored materials that make registration easy. Democracy works better when everyone’s invited!
Reconnect with Movers
The most common things people lose in their moves are keys, phone chargers, and their voter registration. Our voter registration programs give you the tools to deliver mailers that include personalized registration information and clear instructions on how to re-register in their new location.
Improve Participation with Data-Driven Outreach
Our targeted voter registration programs increase registration rates by approximately 25% on average, which which means more Democrats voting and a stronger, more progressive civic backbone in your community. It’s not magic, it’s what happens when you stop leaving potential voters on the bench and put them in the game.
How Our Program Works
Data-Informed Identification
Guesswork isn’t strategy. We use a proprietary dataset and partisan modeling to identify likely progressive and Democratic individuals in your area. This allows us to specifically target mission-aligned supporters and minimizes unintended Republican registrations.
Personalized Mail
Each potential voter we identify receives a tailored mailer with a branded insert, pre-filled registration form where permissible, and postage paid return envelope (basically, it’s VR room service). This makes registration so simple that all they have to do is sign, seal, and spark democracy.
Layered Engagement with Text Follow-Up
You can follow up with simple, personalized text reminders that nudge, but don’t nag. Residents receive follow-up guidance on registration deadlines and key voting dates, ensuring they stay informed and ready to participate.

8 Ways to Use Data to Win Elections
In this free e-book, you’ll uncover eight powerful ways to leverage data. Learn how the experts target the right voters, track performance, and build momentum to win elections.
FAQs
How do you know these voters are likely Democrats?
We use advanced modeling informed by our proprietary database of voter information to “score” individual voters on a partisan scale. So, we can’t say with 100% certainty that each person on our list is definitely a Democrat, but all available data indicates that they are.
It’s more than an educated guess, though! Our data points are extremely in-depth and paint a fairly clear picture of each person on our list.
We also account for errors in the data, meaning that we are only reaching out to folks who are the most likely to be supporters. Basically, instead of focusing our efforts on “not Republicans,” we primarily target “most likely progressive Democrats.”
What kind of organizations do you work with?
We work with an ever-evolving range of organizations, but most fall under these categories:
- Individual Candidates and Campaigns
- Political Action Committees (PACs)
- Nonprofits and Advocacy Groups
Is this partisan?
Yes. We work with progressive and Democratic organizations, campaigns, and causes that align with our mission of promoting a fairer, more equitable democracy for all.
Is there a way to track voter registration campaign results in real time?
Yes! We use USPS barcodes to track direct mail delivery in real time. You’ll be able to track everything, down to the date the voter registered.
We actually use this information in our voter registration programs! When the barcode is scanned, indicating delivery of the mailer, we send a “text chase” which is just a quick text reminder to the recipient that we’ve sent them something.
How do you measure the impact of a voter registration campaign?
We track registration, turnout, and response rates using control groups and independent evaluators. You’ll receive detailed performance reports that show exactly how your mail investment moved the needle (and, most importantly, where you gained new voters).
How do you verify your results? Is this legit?
Yes, this is very much legit! We verify the efficacy of each project through third-party, independent verifiers to ensure that we’re seeing consistent, measurable impact across the board.
We also do Random Control Trials (RCTs) each year to make sure our methods are undeniably successful.
I'm an individual listener, can I run a voter registration program?
Sort of!
This is exactly why we built FundMap.
FundMap is a platform that allows individuals to contribute to the mission of voter registration.
Learn more at fundmap.civitech.io.
How does FundMap work?
FundMap allows individual contributors who may not be attached to organizations or campaigns to contribute to the larger mission of supporting disenfranchised and suppressed voters nationwide.
Individual contributors (a.k.a. everyday Americans supporting voting rights) can contribute $2 or more in any community across the US to help us register voters in that area.
Go to fundmap.civitech.io to learn more.
Can campaigns use FundMap, too?
Yes! FundMap is actually one of the best methods for small campaigns to run voter registration programs. This is perfect for local elections, and can help keep the cost of your VR program low.
