Millions of Voter Contacts Help 820,000 Americans Register as Part of National Voter Registration Day<\/strong>
Work Continues as State Deadlines Rapidly Approach<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Boston, MA – September 30, 2024 – This year’s National Voter Registration Day has achieved unprecedented success, shattering partnership records and helping 820,000 American voters register or update their voter registration\u2014approximately 1 out of every 280 eligible voters in the country. It is estimated that about 310,000 of these new or updated registrations came from 18-24-year-olds, many voting for the first time in 2024. This remarkable achievement underscores the growing importance of this civic holiday in strengthening our democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The success of this year’s National Voter Registration Day, celebrated on September 17th, is nothing short of extraordinary,” said Chyann Sapp, Campaign Director for National Voter Registration Day. “With 820,000 Americans taking action to register or update their voter information, we’re witnessing a powerful surge in civic engagement that helps to strengthen our democracy.” When including registration verifications, that is people who use the various online tools to confirm their registration is up to date, the number grows to roughly 2 million Americans\u2014or 1 in 120 eligible voters\u2014who either registered, updated, or verified their registration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This success was made possible by a record-breaking civic coalition of 152 Premier Partners (45 more than ever before) and 5,600 Community Partners (1,000 more than ever before) who participated in the event. In all, 40,000 volunteers and staff members worked tirelessly across the nation\u2014at colleges, high schools, libraries, nonprofits, transit hubs, bagel shops, and more\u2014to help citizens register to vote. Meanwhile, the many digital and media partners helped elevate the holiday and registration opportunities online. The collective impact helped facilitate millions of conversations and interactions about the importance of voting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sapp adds, “This incredible success is a testament to the hard work of our partners, volunteers, and the American people’s commitment to the democratic process. As we approach critical elections, it’s clear that citizens are more engaged than ever in shaping the future of their communities and country.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the holiday itself, National Voter Registration Day events across the nation help to jump-start voter registration drives that will continue up to the various state registration deadlines. Americans are encouraged to visit Vote.gov<\/a> to register to vote, update their registration, or just verify the information on file is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
