About Me

Why Tuesday? is a non-profit, non-partisan organization founded in 2005 to raise awareness about the broken state of Americaâ€™s voting system and to find solutions to increase voter turnout and participation in elections. We provide a platform for national dialogue about the current voting system and the need for election reform by bringing attention to the problems with our current voting system and identifying solutions that can directly improve the voting process, increase registration and drive turnout. Watch our video blog, become a WT? correspondent , and speak out for change using our tools.
