Comments: "In the United States of America, voter education and mobilization is carried out by a variety of entities including state level election authorities, media outlets (for example MTV's Rock the Vote campaign), and a host of civil society organisations, special interest groups, professional associations and unions (including the AFL-CIO), and political parties. Some of these may be considered political or advocacy organizations rather than nonpartisan voter educators, but others have a proud history of registering and educating voters and of 'getting out the vote.'"
