Participate PA is building the capacity of organizations across the state that don't normally do the work, but have natural opportunities to connect with voters and infrequent/non-voting residents. Learn what every organization should be doing this year to effectively increase voter participation – especially among our hardest-to-reach residents.

The 2020 Presidential Election & the COVID-19 pandemics make this the most challenging Election Year in generations. Pennsylvania's nonprofit & community-based organizations must play a critical role as we prepare for the 11.03.20 Election. Participate PA provides organizations with best-practice information, resources, and partnerships to make a real difference in mobilizing people to vote safely in the 2020 General Election.
