The Democratic National Committee on Tuesday unveiled a sweeping new voter registration initiative aimed at reversing years of Democratic losses in party enrollment. It includes the launch of a seven-figure pilot program in Arizona and Nevada as part of a broader national strategy ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

DNC Chairman Ken Martin said the program, dubbed “When We Count,” will train hundreds of paid fellows to register tens of thousands of new Democratic voters, marking the party’s largest-ever investment in partisan voter registration. The effort will initially focus on fast-growing Sun Belt states with tight congressional margins before expanding nationwide.
