WHAT WE DO
OUR INITIATIVES
FREE COMIC BOOK DAY
On Free Comic Book Day (the first Saturday in May), we partner with comic book stores in all 50 states across the U.S. We help comic book lovers register to vote so they can be real life superheroes by participating in local, state and federal elections!
Participating retailers give away NerdsVote gift packs of stickers, comic book inserts, and QR codes to election resources, and everyone is eligible to enter our raffle to win prizes like a signed X-Men '97 poster!
STREAM THE VOTE
In celebration of National Voter Registration Day, we host an annual Twitch stream that includes fun activities, giveaways, interviews and panels with our Notable Nerd actors and cosplayers!

On the day, viewers can enjoy Q&A in our Twitch chat with some of their favorite Nerds, as well as access to voter registration info. Stream The Vote broadcasts are archived and available to watch anytime on NerdsVote’s Twitch and Youtube channels.
As seen on Stream the Vote and NAVA's Day of Play, our election-themed D&D one-shot "Democracy & Dragons" is available as a free download so enjoy the game with friends to slay apathy and free the kingdom!

NerdsVote creates voter registration opportunities and education at pop-culture conventions nationwide! You
