The No Kings: Vote Early Action brought communities together everywhere!
New analysis from TargetSmart shows us that early voting increased by 51% in ZIP codes that hosted No Kings events, compared to the equivalent Saturday of the 2022 midterms.
And across 13 states analyzed, early voting increased by 32%
The increase was 19 percentage points higher in communities hosting vote early events.
One of the most encouraging findings is that early voting among voters of color in those ZIP codes surged by 90% compared to 2022!
These findings offer an exciting indication of momentum building across the country.
To every organizer, volunteer, and community member who made October 17 happen: THANK YOU.
But we’re not finished.
Election Day is November 3, and our work continues.
Keep helping people vote, protect every ballot, and defend the will of the people.
No Kings: Vote Early was a call to action to get people voting, but many communities also chose to organize rallies and marches.
