Case study : Voter Registration
The Voter Participation Center (VPC) helps Americans register to vote with a special focus on theRising American Electorate of unmarried women, people of color, and millennials. Since 2003 VPC has helped register nearly four million American voters.
VPC launched an awareness campaign recently before National Voter Registration Day to leverage the press awareness around the event to reach more potential voters. The plan was to create an innovative, digital story with information on voting regulations and timelines that would be news-worthy. Here's how VPC and DemLabs executed the project in four days using StoryMaps software.
