    Millions of people with past convictions are able to vote, but due to complex, often discriminatory, state laws, far too many people are left out of our shared democracy. Free Our Vote is a tech nonprofit that develops innovative solutions to restore voting rights for people with past convictions. We collect and analyze disparate sets of data across court and voting systems to identify people with past convictions that are eligible to vote. We then conduct direct voter outreach in coordination with local partners. Free Our Vote is an evidence-based organization - we rely on rigorous testing to measure the effectiveness of our approach. In 2024, we aim to re-enfranchise 300,000 voters. We hope you will join us.
