New York Sen. Hillary Clinton fell just short of being first woman to get a major party presidential nomination this year.

But a national women's organization announced Wednesday it would mount a major voter registration drive in an effort to make sure women aren't underrepresented in the voting booth.

"Women's Voices. Women Vote." hopes to register close to 1 million unmarried women nationwide and at least 23,788 in Florida prior to the November general election, according to a press release.

The group says its notified Floria election officials about the "You Count. Be Counted!" drive.

The group "will continue to work with election officials and do everything it can to ensure unmarried women are able to exercise their right to vote in this historic election," according to the release.

"In the past, unmarried women in Florida and nationally have been underrepresented both in terms of registration and in actually showing up to vote," the release said. "In 2006, 1,190,605 unmarried women in Florida were eligible to register but did not; a further 774,451 were registered to vote but did not cast a ballot."
