The Bus Project is an innovative vehicle for hands-on democracy. We drive votes. We drive leaders. We drive change. (And yes, we have a bus.) We’re about people-powered politics. We’re building a movement. Not left, not right, but forward.

Each election cycle, the Bus Project hosts Trick or Vote, the nation’s largest get out the vote effort … in costume! ?Face-to-face interaction, in the form of a door knock, is the single best way to get someone to vote. And what is the one time of year people expect a knock on their door? Halloween. And when does Halloween happen to fall on the calendar? Always a few days before the election. Trick or Vote is simply the best way on the best day.
