Our democracy depends on participation, yet most people who are registered don't vote, especially those in minority and disadvantaged communities. Understanding where and why people don't participate is a complex challenge which we have experience exploring.

We've worked extensively with different voter and voting participation data. We helped the Knight foundation and Portland State University develop a new data set of local voting patterns. We worked with Voto Latino to create data and a mobile application to help underserved populations find and use voting resources. We continue to explore how civic participation and voting are key factors in creating equitable and healthy societies.
