NERD UP!
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 get comic book lovers registered to vote so they can be real life superheroes by participating in local, state and federal elections!
Participating retailers can give away NerdsVote gift packs of free stickers, comic book inserts, and QR codes to election resources and info, and everyone is eligible to enter our raffle to win nerdy 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, NerdsVote has an election-themed D&D one-shot! "Democracy & Dragons" is available as a free download to all nerds, so enjoy the game and inspire your friends to slay apathy and free the kingdom!
CONVENTIONS
NerdsVote creates voter registration opportunities and education at pop-culture conventions nationwide! You
may have seen some of us at DragonCon, Animate!, and LA Comicon, to name just a few...

AND MORE TO COME!
WE NEED

NerdsVote is a tiny yet mighty operation, but we need your help! Your support allows us to continue spreading the importance of voting throughout all of nerd-dom. Every cent of your merch purchase helps us raise awareness of the benefits of voting, and for an even greater impact you can make a secure, tax-dedectible donation through PayPal. Thanks for your support!
5 STEPS TO
VOTE LIKE A NERD
1.
SIGN UP
Click the button to register to vote! Think you already did? Maybe you moved? Click "Can I Vote?" to make sure you're registered and your info is up to date.
"But I'm under 18, I can't vote yet!" No problem! Click the button below to Pledge to Vote. You'll get a reminder when you're about to turn 18 to get your registration on!
2.
SPEAK UP
All registered? Great! Now encourage your fellow nerds to register. Send them to bit.ly/NerdsVote. Follow us on social media, tag us @nerdsvote and use #nerdsvote whenever you're promoting voter registration!
3.
SWAG UP
Support our operations with exclusive NerdsVote gear and show you're proud to be a registered voter! It's like an "I Voted" sticker the whole year round. Click the buttons to find the latest merch in our store, as well as specialty goods at TeePublic and The Rook & The Raven.
4.
STUDY UP
A good nerd voter is an informed nerd voter. But don't be discouraged by a lengthy ballot! Divide up the research with friends and share your findings over pizza. Check out our Ballot Party Guide, created by Voting Study Parties to throw one of your own! Or start researching solo: type your address into this widget from BallotReady to find sample ballots and unbiased info explaining every candidate and referendum.
5.
SHOW UP
Cast your ballot in every election, not just presidential ones. The smaller, less-talked-about elections steer policy at the local level, where you are most affected. Study the issues, research the candidates, and use your power to choose! Not sure when your next election is? Or where your polling place is? These buttons will help!
