The ABA Voter Education Program advances the national dialogue through polling, research, issue advocacy and non-partisan “Get Out the Vote” initiatives.
As an important extension of ABA’s advocacy work, the program raises dedicated funds to communicate directly with voters about banking policy issues that affect their daily lives. Over the years, it has partnered with the State Association Alliance to elevate these conversations and highlight the efforts of bipartisan lawmakers who have championed the industry with key constituencies across the country.
