A Day for Democracy
A NON-partisan initiative, founded by CEOs, to encourage leaders across the U.S. to pledge to increase voter registration and participation of their employees.

Using the latest publicly available data at the state and county level, A Day for Democracy – in partnership with our pledge participant, Qlik – has developed an interactive map that visualizes voter participation in the 2016 election at the state and county level.

Voters need the facts to understand today’s important economic issues. One of our pledge participants, EconoFact, is a non-partisan publication designed to bring key facts and incisive analysis to the national debate on economic and social policies. The work of the country’s leading academic economists who belong to the EconoFact Network is presented in an accessible manner that helps voters make informed choices at the polls. It is published by The Fletcher School at Tufts University.
Some of EconoFact’s recent memos include:
Or subscribe to the podcast series, EconoFact Chats, which covers topics like Immigration, Trade, Government Debt, Racism and Policing. One of their recent podcasts, entitled The Economy, COVID-19, and the 2020 Election, featured Binyamin Appelbaum of the New York Times, Scott Horsley of National Public Radio, Greg Ip of the Wall Street Journal and Heather Long of the Washington Post.
To support your employees in the voting process, we teamed up with TurboVote, a leading online service that aims to help individuals vote in every election – local, state and national.
