Vote.org

Vote.org, formerly Long Distance Voter, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in January 2008 in the United States by a group of professional investigators and voter advocates that initially sought to provide greater access to absentee voting information online.[1] The organization is staffed by volunteers who work to put together online voter guides for every state, which include voter registration forms, and absentee ballot applications, as well as information on deadlines, directions, and ID and residency requirements.[1]

In 2008 the volunteers assisted in registering 20,000 voters and helped 130,000 registered voters obtain absentee ballots. Long Distance Voter has partnerships with voter advocacy groups Rock the Vote and CountMore.

Long Distance Voter relaunched in April 2016 as Vote.org.[2]
