The Voter Participation Center (VPC) is a non-profit organization in the United States. It seeks to increase voter registration among Americans, including unmarried women, people of color and young people.[1][2] Founded as Women's Voices Women Vote in 2003 by political activist Page Gardner, the organization is based in Washington, D.C.
