We use trackable QR codes (Rockthevote.org) and currently track "probable voter registrations". The advantage of these voter registration platforms is that multiple reminder text messages about voter registration status and each current election are sent to the students who sign up.
For the fourth and fifth year in August 2024 and February/September 2025, "Happy 18th Birthday" posters with trackable QR codes (see panel below) were distributed to all public high schools and CTE schools in five counties: Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Washington, and Westmoreland. This project empowers students to complete voter registration just as soon as they become eligible and has been duplicated by Leagues across the US. Monthly emails to high school staff share resources and current voter and election information.
We made a new connection with the Boys and Girls Club Youth Advocacy Council. They gave us very positive feedback about the information we presented in October 2025. These dynamic students distributed 200 Ready Set Vote bags of election information in their various high schools, to encourage voter registration and civic engagement of their peers.
