Voting is Something to Celebrate!
DJs at the Polls was founded on the belief that voting is something to be celebrated. It was expanded on evidence that putting DJs at polls measurably increases voter turnout.
More voters = A stronger Democracy.
That’s what DJs at the Polls is all about.
Our national, non-partisan Get Out the Vote program places DJs in densely populated urban areas with large numbers of underrepresented voters to celebrate citizens who come to the polls. Based on a 2022 randomized control trial in Philadelphia, at polling sites where our DJs performed, voter turnout increased 3%.
DJs at the Polls believes that whole communities - whether they’re voters or not - should know that Democracy is worthy of celebration.
