From their website...

"Smackdown Your Vote! is a non-partisan partnership to encourage more 18 to 30 year olds to vote. Among the organizations participating are the League of Women Voters, the National Association of Secretaries of State, the Harvard Institute of Politics, Rock the Vote and the University of Virginia’s Youth Leadership Initiative, and Rock the Vote. Smackdown Your Vote! has engaged in various activities and provided resources to reach young adults throughout the U.S. to encourage them to become more active in the democratic process."

Back in 2000 a friend of mine and I went to a WWF event, and a cute little volunteer got him to register to vote. He wasn't all that politically involved back then; now I have a hard time getting him to talk about anything but politics.
