With the help of its dedicated volunteers and staff EMERGE engages the Muslim, Arab, and South Asian American communities along with other underrepresented communities in the electoral process. The Emerging Voters programming includes voter registration campaigns, absentee ballot drives, organizing early voting events and creating opportunities for candidates and elected officials to interact with community members so they can learn about and discuss issues that are important in their local communities.

Programs also include the organizing of live education sessions in local communities, religious centers, schools and even people's homes to promote civic awareness and responsibility. This programming is supported by constant interaction with the EMERGE's registered voter database through social networking sites, email, and phone/SMS contact.
