One million!

As of about 2:00 pm PDT yesterday afternoon, the one-millionth person completed a voter registration application using CREDO's online voter registration technology since we launched it just over a year ago. We're extremely pleased that we've been able to help such a large number of people take the first step toward participating in our democracy.

CREDO and Working Assets have had a strong commitment to making it easy for our members to make a difference in the world for over 20 years. For the last few election cycles, we've placed a special emphasis on supporting civic engagement and electoral participation, with voter registration being a big piece of our efforts. We're proud that Rock the Vote and over 1100 other organizations, campaigns, blogs, and individuals are using our online voter registration technology to power their drives to register members, constituents, and friends.

Hitting one million applications this early puts us more than 50% ahead of the online voter registration traffic during the 2004 election cycle. Clearly, interest in this year's election is extremely high. At the current rate, we're set to power the largest voter registration drive in history in the months leading up to the election.

Onward to November 4!
