About The Mobile Voting Project

The Mobile Voting Project is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization working to make voting more accessible, secure, and convenient by expanding the option to cast a ballot from a smartphone.

Through grassroots organizing, community partnerships, public education, and advocacy, we are building a nationwide movement to bring secure mobile voting to communities across the country.
