Democracy Works is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the status quo.
After missing several elections as a graduate student living away from home, Seth Flaxman set out to build a reminder system alongside friend and classmate Kathryn Peters so no one would have to miss an election again. From that idea, we formed Democracy Works to use technology to power democracy. TurboVote—our first project—launched in September 2010.
Since our founding, we have worked with colleges and universities, election officials, peer institutions, and corporate and nonprofit partners to achieve this goal.
