Democrats launching 'all-hands-on-deck' voter registration effort [View all]
he Democratic National Committee (DNC) is launching an all-hands-on-deck voter registration push this week as the party has lagged behind the GOP in recruiting new voters.
The DNC announced Monday it will hold more than 50 voter registration events this week in 27 states and territories, with National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday. The organization said this is the first time in years it is directly supporting registration efforts for the annual day devoted to getting people signed up to vote.
During the DNCs Voter Registration Week of Action, Democrats will be all-hands-on-deck to organize and register voters across the country, said DNC Chair Ken Martin in a statement.
Martin noted that the effort comes after the DNCs Organizing Summer during which it expanded its volunteer base to 41,000 people and made contact with over 1.6 million voters.
