Mission Statement

Why Tuesday? is a non-profit, non-partisan organization founded in 2005 to raise awareness about the broken state of America's voting system and to find solutions to increase voter turnout and participation in elections. We provide a platform for national dialogue about the current voting system and the need for election reform by bringing attention to the problems with our current voting system and identifying solutions that can directly improve the voting process, increase registration and drive turnout.

Chris Rock on Tuesday Voting


New York Magazine quotes Chris Rock, currently on tour, at his Wednesday night Madison Square Garden show: "They don't want you to vote. If they did, we wouldn't vote on a Tuesday. In November. You ever throw a party on a Tuesday? No. Because nobody would come."
