About the Campaign

Did you know that 100% of the House of Representatives and 1/3 of the Senate are up for grabs in the 2014 midterm election? Add to that 36 governor's races and countless state and local elections and we're talking high-stakes Democracy at play.

Despite the incredible power placed in our hands as eligible voters, did you know that turnout for midterms is 15-20% lower than during Presidential elections? #shocking.

From immigration and the environment, to education, privacy and employment, no matter what your political affiliation is the issues are just too important to sit this years' election out. TakePart Live's Jacob Soboroff, along with TakePart.com, are launching a multi-year campaign around civics, elections and YOU, dear voters. From weekly segments on TPL, to regular articles on TakePart, this campaign is dedicated to informing, educating and inspiring everyone to get out there and #JustVote.
