voter registration drives
Civic signup efforts
Voter registration drives are organized efforts to sign up eligible citizens to vote, typically conducted before elections by political parties, advocacy groups, or nonpartisan organizations.
Volunteers often set up tables at public events, college campuses, or community centers: The League of Women Voters ran registration drives across the state.
The drives aim to increase voter participation, particularly among underrepresented populations.
