Vote.org Records Highest Q1 Midterm Voter Registration Total in Organization History

Vote.org, the nation’s largest nonpartisan, nonprofit voter registration and engagement platform, today announced record-breaking registrations in the first quarter of 2026, helping 131,676 voters register to vote – the highest total in a midterm year in organization history. The figure is more than four times the total new registrations from the first quarter of 2022, the last comparable midterm year.

Nearly 40% of individuals who used the platform to register to vote were 18-years-old, and 82% were under the age of 35, underscoring the platform’s continued strength with younger voters and reflecting a growing wave of youth civic engagement heading into a pivotal election year.

In addition to new registrations, 375,972 individuals used Vote.org to check their registration status in the first quarter of 2026, more than 3x the 111,110 who did so in the first quarter of 2022, and more than double the 172,480 who did so in 2024, a presidential election year.

“Our numbers are indicating an undeniable energy and engagement around this year’s election,” Andrea Hailey, Vote.org CEO, said. “Voters – especially young voters – are registering to vote and checking their status in numbers we haven’t seen in a midterm cycle. All signs are pointing to a record turnout year – and Vote.org will be ready to meet that moment.”
