On September 20, 2022, Americans will celebrate National Voter Registration Day with a massive cross-country effort to register voters. The public workforce system can play an essential role in furthering the goals of the National Voter Registration Act by facilitating non-partisan voter registration activities. After all, one of the most powerful tools an individual and a worker has is their voice. Voting is an important way for workers to use their voices to empower themselves and their communities.
Every eligible American voter should have the option to exercise their right to be heard at the ballot box, and National Voter Registration Day is the right day to start getting registered. This year, 2022, also marks National Voter Registration Day’s 10th anniversary. Thousands of national, state, and local organizations and volunteers will be the driving force behind National Voter Registration Day 2022.
Partner organizations will coordinate hundreds of National Voter Registration Day events and leverage #NationalVoterRegistrationDay and #VoteReady on social media to drive attention to voter registration.
The effort’s website, NationalVoterRegistrationDay.org, provides a listing of National Voter Registration Day events across the country, in communities, and held virtually. It also includes more comprehensive and state-specific resources on all things voter registration and voting.
