The Voter Education, Registration, and Action campaign of 2008 (VERA 08) is a non-partisan effort aimed at adult learners and program staff in the New England states. Its goal is to educate adult learners about voting and the topical electoral issues, and mobilize them to vote in the 2008 elections. VERA is sponsored by the New England Literacy Resource Center (NELRC) at World Education.
