Project V.O.T.E. (Voters of Tomorrow through Education) is an innovative, private-public partnership designed to help students become knowledgeable, responsible voters at an early age and to stimulate a life-long commitment to the election process. This non-partisan, cooperative statewide voter education program promotes voter participation by introducing students to the mechanics of the electoral and legislative processes through hands-on experience. The curriculum, which focuses on students Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grades, is designed by teachers, for teachers, for implementation in the classroom. The project's objectives are to make the voting procedures easy to understand and to encourage students to make informed decisions.

-- First they came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.
Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945
