UPDATES

Please note: Proposals must have a clear and direct connection to GOTV. General community programming or events should only be included when voter engagement is the explicit and central goal.

The Grant Portal is now open! Our current funding focus is strictly on Get Out the Vote (GOTV) work activities that directly help people prepare for and participate in the November 3 election.

What is GOTV? GOTV stands for Get Out the Vote. It refers to direct, targeted efforts to move eligible voters from awareness to action — making sure people are registered, informed, and actually show up to vote. Funded work must have a clear, measurable connection to voter participation.https://bit.ly/bvmgrant

Using Louisiana Secretary of State data from January 2025–May 2026, this report documents a dramatic surge in inactive voter designations and significant disparities by race, party, and parish.

Key Findings

Why It Matters
Voters should check their registration status, keep their address current, and know that "inactive" does not strip their right to vote. Important Clarification
Inactive status does not mean ineligible. Inactive voters can still cast a ballot, but inactive designation can be a first step toward eventual removal if a voter doesn't respond to an address confirmation notice or vote within the required period.
