Boston, MA:<\/strong> The leadership team at National Voter Registration Day announced they are well on track for another year of strong participation, with almost 3,500 community partners expected to host events on September 16. Organizations from New York to California, and from Michigan to Georgia are preparing to help their neighbors register, update their information, and ensure their voices are heard in the more than 100,000 local elections taking place this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York, Texas, and California are each expected to have more than 250 partners organizing local events, with hundreds more across North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, New Jersey, Georgia, and Michigan. The expansion highlights the grassroots momentum behind the holiday, as trusted local institutions like public libraries, food pantries, community colleges, and neighborhood associations take the lead in bringing voter registration directly to the communities they serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight now, over 40 million Americans either moved or turned 18 in the last year, and others have naturalized or changed their names requiring a voter registration update,\u201d said Brian Miller, Executive Director of Nonprofit VOTE<\/strong>, the managing partner of National Voter Registration Day. \u201cThose are the voters who can decide the school board budgets, the housing policy, the local races that shape our daily lives. We are proud to help those individuals make their voices heard in decisions affecting their own communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe League of Women Voters is excited to host hundreds of events in communities across the country for National Voter Registration Day,” said Jeanette Senecal, Chief of Civic Learning and Impact at the League of Women Voters<\/strong>. “Voters in more than 35 states still have the chance to shape the future of their communities in meaningful ways this year. The League is proud to partner with NVRD to make sure every eligible voter knows that there is no such thing as an \u2018off year\u2019 when it comes to democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLibraries are trusted community spaces where people come to learn, connect, and participate,\u201d said Sam Helmick, President of the American Library Association<\/strong>. \u201cThat includes providing access to civic information that empowers neighbors to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The American Library Association is committed to working alongside NVRD and our partners to meet this moment and ensure that communities have the resources they need in this election year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the country, community groups will host registration drives at farmers markets, libraries, food pantries, local colleges, and small businesses. Together, they form a nonpartisan network working to ensure every eligible voter has the opportunity to register and participate in shaping the future of their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizations in every state can still join the effort, gaining access to free resources, training, and visibility as part of the nationwide celebration. To learn more or to sign up, organizations can visit the official holiday website.<\/a> Organizations that sign up by the end of Tuesday, September 2, will receive complimentary event organizing kits.For inquiries please contact Kelsea-Marie Pym, kelsea@nonprofitvote.org.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
