	Handbook of Texas Online: SOUTHWEST VOTER REGISTRATION EDUCATION PROJECT
		The organization grew out of the Citizens' Voter Research and Education Project, which Velásquez organized during his tenure as an assistant field director and fund-raiser with the National Council of La Raza between 1971-72.
		The Latin American Project's best-known effort was a report on a fact-finding tour of United States Hispanic leaders, including Velásquez, to Nicaragua and Costa Rica in January 1988.
		A long-term goal of the project was to furnish SVREP's voter-registration and education techniques to Latin-American countries.

		The Voter Education Project (VEP) was a federally endorsed program that enabled philanthropic organizations to direct funding to voter registration efforts in the South.
		The idea for the VEP originated in discussions between Robert Kennedy and Burke Marshall of the U.S. Justice Department, Harold C. Flemming of the Southern Regional Council, and Stephen R. Currier, a philanthropist.
		Civil rights organizations were well aware that the Kennedy administration wanted the VEP to shift their focus from demonstrations to voter registration.

		Their arrests were powerful ammunition for VEP backers’ own initiative, Measure 26, which banned per-signature payments to petitioners, a practice the group claimed was the incentive for fraud and forgery in the initiative system.
		Voter Education Project was founded by Jeannie Berg, an Oregon union lobbyist who is now VEP’s executive director, was incorporated by representatives of the AFL-CIO, Oregon Public Employees’ Union, and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
		She says that while VEP members are restricted from commenting directly to the department staff or attempting to influence them, they loudly exchange observations about the process—loudly enough to be bothersome to workers.

		1,386,654 were registered at the start of the VEP, and in 1964 half of the five million fls who are able to vote in the eleven southern states.
		It was terribly difficult for the organization to succeed in the VEP they had to work so vigorously to get a huge amount of fls ready to vote only to get a small percentage of them to vote.
		The organization realized until the power of the citizen's council over state politics is broken; they would not be able to help the majority of fls in the south vote.

		There are three steps to the voting process: the voter's selection of a candidate (example: a checkmark next to a candidate's name), casting the vote (example: putting the ballot into the ballot box), and counting the vote.
		Voting technology has been counting votes in order of the arrival of the voter in the polling precinct since lever machines were first introduced in the 1892, and optical scanners in 1964.
