In celebration of National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday, September 25, The Voter Participation Center joins with Balcony Films for a release of a new music video and original song, 'L.O.V.E. (Let One Voice Emerge),' urging women and other unregistered voters to head to the ballot box on November 6. 'Let one voice emerge, let your voice be heard' at the voting booth, the song reminds voters. Unmarried women, persons of color and young people - the Rising American Electorate - comprise 53 percent of the voting eligible population, and yet represent 63 percent of all unregistered citizens.
