Program areas at Mainstream Civic Engagement Foundation

Voter to Voter is the Mainstream Civic Engagement Foundation's signature voter engagement effort. It is an innovative, nonpartisan get-out-the-vote program that asks Kansas voters to connect with ten people they already know and encourage them to get out to vote. With an online tool, comprehensive support, and a welcoming community of Voting Ambassadors, Voter to Voter is making a real difference in voter turnout. In 2018, when record turnout reached 51% in Kansas, Voter to Voter turned out 82% of its participants. Among infrequent voters, it was 75% compared to the state's 33% turnout. In 2019, it nearly doubled state turnout. Over 20,000 voters were connected to the tool in 2020. In 2021 and 2022, we reached 30,000 voters through over 500 volunteer Ambassadors.
KSBallot.org is a comprehensive, statewide nonpartisan ballot guide for all Kansans. With ksballot.org, voters can see who and what is on their ballot, research candidates, find their polling place, make a plan to vote, and get reminders to cast their ballot, all in one easy place. This is another tool for nonpartisan political engagement from Mainstream Civic Engagement Foundation
