National Voter Registration Day

According to U.S. Census data from 2020, as many as 1 in 4 eligible Americans are not registered to vote. 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. National Voter Registration Day efforts are designed to ensure every eligible voter has the opportunity to vote, creating broad awareness of voter registration opportunities to reach tens of thousands of voters who may not register otherwise.

If you are registering to vote for the first time as an adult, or if you want to pre-register as a 16 or 17 year old, simply fill out the forms linked below: 

Additionally, you can use the National Voter Registration Day website to work through the process online.
