Today is National Voter Registration Day

https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-voter-registration-day-fouth-tuesday-in-september/

National Voter Registration Day on the Fourth Tuesday in September urges citizens to register to vote. Make your vote count!

More than 300,000 Americans registered to vote in the inaugural day the observance in 2012. That number jumped to 800,000 in 2018. The day helps to ensure eligible voters register in their districts each year. The awareness campaign provides valuable information for each state. Timed ideally a few months before some of the bigger elections of the year, the day places information in the hands of the voters at the right time.

There are hundreds of local, state and national organizations driving the day and bringing it to you. Partner organizations help too by coordinating thousands of public events to bring awareness about ballot initiatives, local elections, and voter registration.
