Our Approach

Measure

Free Our Vote is an evidence-based organization. We rely on rigorous, scientific-evidence to measure the effectiveness of our approach. We measure, evaluate, and iterate on each of our programs in effort to have the greatest impact and restore voting rights for eligible voters.

Implement

We use data to conduct hyper-targeted, direct voter outreach (e.g. mailers, texts, phone banking, door knocking) to register and turn out voters. We negotiate with clerks of court to waive outstanding balances then pay the remainder.

Analyze

Using sophisticated matching logic, we link and analyze datasets to determine eligible voters and identify relevant eligibility barriers (e.g. outstanding fines, fees, restitution).

Collect

We develop and deploy web crawlers and machine learning models to collect and organize disparate sets of data across court and voting systems. We leverage APIs and request public records to acquire additional data points.

Success Stories

"Free Our Vote was able to call and get my fines and fees taken care of. [They] moved a mountain that I really just felt like I didn't have the energy or the funds to move.”

- Latanya, Restored Voter

"Free Our Vote and Greater Birmingham Ministries have impacted me in a lot of ways. I now feel liberated. I now feel like my voice can and will be heard."

- Corey, Restored Voter
