Get Registered to Vote or Update Your Voter Registration
National Voter Registration Day is celebrated every year on the fourth Tuesday of September. First celebrated in 2012, it is a nonpartisan civic holiday that celebrates our democracy. The goal of National Voter registration day is to make sure all eligible voters are registered and ready for upcoming elections and don’t find themselves unable to cast a ballot because of a missed registration deadline, outdated registration information, or other problems with their voter registration.
This year, National Voter Registration Day will take place on September 22. Take this opportunity to get registered to vote or to update your voter registration. People needing to update their voter registration include those whom have moved, those whom have changed their name, or those who want to change their political party affiliation.
For those who are already registered, this is a good time to research options for how to cast a ballot on or before Election Day, including requesting a mail-in ballot.
On this page, you’ll find helpful resources and details on registering to vote in your state and important deadlines in your state.
