National Voter Registration Day is a nonpartisan civic holiday celebrating our democracy.

First observed in 2012, it has quickly gained momentum ever since. Nearly 4.7 million voters have registered to vote on the holiday to date. Celebrated every September, National Voter Registration Day involves volunteers and organizations from all over the country. This year, Schlow Library is a proud partner in helping to create broad awareness of voter registration opportunities.

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 wants to make sure everyone has the opportunity to vote.

Find voter registration forms at Schlow Library on September 20 and every day at your library.
