From New York to Texas: Thousands of Local Organizations Rally for Voter Registration Ahead of Critical Year for Local Elections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coast-to-coast effort around National Voter Registration Day shows there\u2019s no \u2018off year\u2019 when it comes to registering and empowering voters<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boston, MA: Today, the leadership team behind  National Voter Registration Day is proud to announce surpassing 1,776 community partners \u2013 A notable number on the eve of the nation\u2019s 250th Anniversary \u2013 with more groups signing on every day. Across the country, almost 3,500 local organizations are expected to be organizing events on September 16 to help the people they serve claim not just services, but a say in the decisions that affect them. Public libraries, neighborhood food pantries, community colleges, and even local businesses will set up voter registration tables in their own communities on the holiday, in partnership with major national  partners and media companies supporting the holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLast year, our partners helped over 2 million Americans get registered, confirm their registration, or update their registration, and that momentum does not stop in so-called \u2018off years.\u2019,\u201d  says Chyann Sapp, Campaign Director for National Voter Registration Day. <\/strong> \u201cThere are over 100,000 local and state elections this year that will shape all facets of community life. We are building on our momentum with this in mind, with an even stronger coalition to reach people where they live, work, and gather.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor our community partners, making sure every eligible person can register is about more than civic duty. It is about protecting the resources that keep their communities going, because they know that participation shapes policy. Local elections impact everything from the kind of education our children receive to public safety, transportation, and public green spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the largest cities to the smallest towns, the reach of this year\u2019s effort is unmistakable. In New York, close to 250 local groups are expected to register new voters with events across the state, with Texas and California close behind. North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Ohio are each expected to see about 150 local groups organizing events in their own communities, followed by New Jersey, Georgia, and Michigan. In every corner of these states, familiar local faces \u2014 librarians, food pantry volunteers, service providers, community colleges and universities \u2014 are making sure their neighbors can take part in decisions that shape everything from school boards to state budgets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor the people doing this work, voter registration isn\u2019t an abstract cause, it\u2019s part of their community service. It\u2019s a reminder that democracy works best when built from the ground up. The nonpartisan spirit of the holiday goes back 13 years and has proven, time and time again, to uplift the importance of local elections and community voices by cutting through polarizing soundbites to get to the core fundamental belief that democracy functions best with full, and inclusive, participation,\u201d Sapp stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With just a few weeks still to go before National Voter Registration Day, held on September 16 this year, new partners are signing on every day, expanding the reach of this grassroots network. Organizations in every state can still join the effort, gaining access to free resources, training, and visibility as part of the nationwide celebration. Nonpartisan and inclusive, the day is designed to reach every eligible voter, no matter their background, and connect them with the tools they need to participate. To learn more or to sign up, organizations can visit the official holiday website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
