Southwest Voter Registration Education Project

SVREP also organizes phone banks and canvasses to remind people of upcoming election dates and assists in locating their local voting station.

In 2016 SVREP Sued Bexar County in Texas for misinforming constituents about voter ID rules.

SVREP argued that the voter ID laws were an attempt to curb and discourage minorities from participating in the electoral process.

Through the Latino Academy individuals are exposed to grassroots organizing and voter registration and mobilization techniques.

Founded by SVREP in 1985 as the Southwest Voter Research Institute-SVRI, WCVI was rechristened in 1997 to honor the late Willie Velasquez.
