VoteRiders is a non-partisan, non-profit organization whose mission is to ensure that all citizens are able to exercise their right to vote.[1][2] Through resources and media exposure, VoteRiders supports on-the-ground organizations that assist citizens to get their voter IDs and inspires local volunteers and communities to sustain such programs and galvanize others to emulate these efforts.
It was founded in 2012 by Kathleen Unger,[3] an election integrity specialist since 2002,[4] and is headquartered in Santa Monica, California.[5] Dedicated to ensuring that eligible American citizens can vote, VoteRiders focuses specifically on helping vulnerable voters get their voter IDs.[6]
VoteRiders, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, has been featured extensively in the local,[7] national[8] and international[9] media in connection with VoterID issues.[10] And VoteRiders' CEO Kathleen Unger has been asked to speak on VoterID issues at colleges and universities such as Pepperdine[11][12] and Occidental College.[13]
