National Voter Registration Day
September 19, 2023
National Voter Registration Day is the nation’s biggest nonpartisan civic holiday dedicated to getting every eligible American registered to vote for their next election. Every year, millions of Americans find themselves unable to vote because they miss a registration deadline, don’t update their registration, or aren’t sure how to register. As a nonpartisan civic holiday celebrated every September, National Voter Registration Day seeks to make sure each one of these Americans has the opportunity to make sure they’re registered to vote before their next election.
Because voter turnout tends to be lower in local elections, the power of the individual voter is exponentially magnified. From property taxes and police funding to trash pickup and school curriculum, local officials and the decisions they make have some of the most direct effects on our daily lives. Registering and voting provide residents the opportunity to be an active participant in our self-governing democracy and answer these big questions that most directly affect our lives and communities.
