After their work in 2024 to help <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalvoterregistrationday.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2024-National-Voter-Registration-Day-Report.pdf\">over 820,000 Americans<\/a> ensure their readiness to take part in the last presidential election, the National Voter Registration Day team is shifting gears to focus on getting every eligible American registered and #VoteReady for the thousands of state and local races happening up and down the ballot in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Citing <a href=\"https:\/\/organizations.ballotready.org\/research\/2025-preview-part-one\">over 100,000 races<\/a> at state and municipal levels across 45 states in 2025, National Voter Registration Day Campaign Director Chyann Sapp says the holiday plans to spend the year dispelling the myth of the \u201coff-year\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c2025 is not just an election year, it\u2019s an <em>elections<\/em> year with a big emphasis on the \u2018s\u2019,\u201d said Sapp. \u201cWhether it\u2019s Wisconsin\u2019s recent high profile state Supreme Court race, New York City\u2019s mayoral primaries in the summer, statewide elections in Virginia and New Jersey, or the thousands of local races across the country, 2025 will be a busy year for democracy and National Voter Registration Day. And we\u2019ll be celebrating the only way we know how: getting the nation registered and #VoteReady.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wasting no time in building the nonpartisan coalition that makes the holiday possible, National Voter Registration Day 2025 has already assembled a team of <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalvoterregistrationday.org\/2025-partners\/\" title=\"\">78 Premier Partners<\/a>. Boasting names like iHeartMedia, Headcount, Paramount, Rock the Vote, Democracy Works, Entravision, Lyft, and National Urban League, the holiday\u2019s Premier Partners represent a broad cross section of the best that America has to offer. While recruitment is still underway, organizers expect over 120 major national Premier Partners and nearly 4,000 Community Partners to take part in the holiday this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalvoterregistrationday.org\/about\/\">13 year history<\/a> of helping to get over 6 million Americans registered to vote, Sapp says the holiday\u2019s grassroots nature is perfect for a moment when many Americans are looking for ways they can make an impact at a more localized level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn so many ways, 2025 gives us an opportunity to get back to the basics of democracy,\u201d said Sapp. \u201cWhile so much national media attention is focused on the day-to-day happenings in Washington, promoting voter engagement at the local level enables us to empower Americans with a sense of ownership and agency of civic life in the communities they call home.\u201dThe holiday\u2019s organizers encourage nonprofits, colleges and universities, election offices, local businesses, and other community groups to <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalvoterregistrationday.org\/2025-partner-sign-up\/\">sign up<\/a> as National Voter Registration Day Community Partners and learn how they can contribute their talents to this annual celebration of democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:18px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:18px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>About National Voter Registration Day: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalvoterregistrationday.org\/\"><strong><em>The holiday<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em> is made possible by the <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalvoterregistrationday.org\/2025-partners\/\"><strong><em>collaborative effort of partners<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em> across a diverse array of industries and fields, including 2025 Premier Sponsors The Carnegie Corporation of New York, Google, Microsoft, and Room &amp; Board .
