The Right to Vote was published by the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) to encourage voter registration and curtail the suppression of African American voters in the South. It explains the registration process, gives instructions on filling out a registration card, and explains what to do if an application is rejected. CORE was founded in 1942 by an interracial group of Chicago students who pioneered the use of nonviolent direct action in America's civil rights struggle.

Between 1962 and 1965, CORE and other groups, including the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), launched a concerted effort across the South that succeeded in registering a significant number of new voters. This placed political pressure on hesitant federal government officials to support potent voting rights statutes. The culmination of this pressure was the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a landmark piece of federal legislation in the United States. This act sought to overcome legal barriers at the state and local levels that prevented African Americans from exercising their right to vote, underscoring the importance of this issue.
