In today's digital age, technology is redefining how we participate in democracy. Rock the Vote's "Tech for Civic Engagement" program is at the forefront of this movement, offering innovative tools to simplify the voting process. From online voter registration to absentee ballot requests, these customizable tools are designed to empower voters, especially young adults, making civic participation more accessible and efficient. With multilingual support and robust data reporting, this initiative is not just about voting—it's about making every vote count in the most inclusive way possible.
Online Voter Registration Platform

the Vote’s Online Voter Registration platform is designed to make voter
registration as easy as possible for young adults. After 20 years of innovation
and testing, the platform has processed over 14 million voter registration
applications. It’s mobile-friendly, customizable, and supports 13 languages,
offering partners detailed data reporting to enhance engagement efforts.

Voter Registration Status Lookup
Rock the Vote’s Voter Status Lookup tool lets voters quickly verify their registration status. By entering basic details, users can confirm their registration and address or be directed to update their information through Rock the Vote's registration platform. The tool is easy to embed, with options for customization available by contacting Rock the Vote.
Pledge to Vote
The Pledge to Vote tool boosts voter turnout by allowing users to commit to voting and receive timely election reminders. Users can opt for email, SMS, or both, and are guided through the voting process with clear, fact-checked information. The tool covers key election dates and deadlines for federal, state, and local elections. Customization options are available by contacting Rock the Vote for a tailored solution: civictech@rockthevote.org
Absentee Ballot Request Tool
Rock the Vote’s Absentee Ballot Request tool simplifies the process of requesting an absentee ballot by guiding voters through state-specific requirements. The tool ensures forms are correctly filled out to avoid rejection by election officials. Like the Online Voter Registration tool, it requires users to enter basic details and follow a state-specific flow based on their zip code. The interface is designed for ease of use, making it straightforward for voters to request absentee ballots for multiple elections if needed.
