Tara is a Fellow at FairVote.

The S.C. Progressive Network has taken on the mission to find over 11,000 missing voters in Fairfield County, South Carolina. The organization has engaged hundreds of volunteers to go door-to-door in the southern heat to search for voters who are missing in the world of democracy.

I hope once the voters are found, they will demand to be heard by voting.

This project is worthwhile, and it should motivate us all to locate the missing voters in our lives – this includes you.

The next time you pick up a carton of milk, it may not be a picture of a missing child, but a missing voter.

Are you that missing voter in your state? Go to vote 411 and be found.
