Pledge to Vote
By making this pledge, you promise to vote on Election Day.
Studies show that you’re more likely to complete an action if you’ve already made a public commitment to it. That’s why we built this pledge — as a way for you (and your friends and family!) to maintain accountability when it comes to voting.
