We challenge you to show 5 friends how to register themselves to vote: Text WeAllVote to 97779 or go to whenweallvote.org to get started.
National Voter Registration Day is here.
If you live in the U.S., please make sure to check your voter registration status. It only takes a minute or two. You deserve to be heard, and your vote is the most important way to make people listen.
We’ve made registering to vote super easy! We bet you can finish in two minutes or less.
For many states, it’s the last day you can register to vote on the upcoming November local ballots.
Voting local is voting for issues that impact you directly—quality of roads and public transportation, education for the next generation of voters, parks, public safety, minimum wage laws, local healthcare access, and so very much more.
Don’t let this deadline slip by. Millions of Americans were unregistered for last year’s presidential election. Millions of voices went unheard. We can’t let that happen again.
Missed it last year? Register. Changed your name or moved in the past year? Update your registration. Completely prepared and feeling good? Great. Now tell a friend to register.
This is how we take care of each other, Tumblr. This is how we start to change what needs to be changed. Get ready to vote.

In college and wondering whether to register to vote on campus or at home? Visit https://help.vote.org/article/17-i-am-a-college-student-should-i-register-at-home-or-where-i-go-to-school to help you make sense of it all! #NationalVoterRegistrationDay
Voting is fundamental to our democracy. But not everyone in this country has access to the right to vote. We’re working to make sure all voices are heard and represented at the polls. Planned Parenthood volunteers around the country are going door-to-door to register folks to vote — regardless of political party or preference. Make sure your voice is heard.
Election season may not be the happiest season of all, but it doesn’t have to be the most dreadful, either. You can—and deserve—to have a little hope.
Hope looks like a vote. If you’re eligible to vote, it specifically looks like your vote. We teamed up with @whenweallvote to make it easy. For some, the deadline to register is fast approaching. Make sure to check with your state for any recent changes to election deadlines.
If you’re on web, you can click into that beautiful unit and fill out the form. If you’re using the app on a mobile device, just tap through to be brought directly to the form on When We All Vote’s website.
Once you’re done registering (or reregistering, if you moved!), the only thing you have to worry about is your actual vote. Scary, right? NO! It’s not! It’s so easy. We made a convenient voting checklist for you to keep on hand to remain calm, cool, and collected throughout the whole process.
You got this, Tumblr.
That’s right! If you live in the U.S and are eligible to vote, you might be thinking that voting deadlines aren’t til closer to the general elections on November 3rd. Though that may be correct for some states, you might want to check your state’s voter registration deadline in time for the primaries.
For those who don’t know what the primaries are, the primary election is a process in which you select your preferred candidate for the party’s nomination by voting through a secret ballot. Before you head out to register, it’s important to understand the difference between an open and closed primary so that you know what kind of process you’re signing up for:
If you want to make your mark in the primaries, you need to know your state’s type of primary and its and registration dates. Each state has a different deadline for already registered voters and new voters. These can range from days to weeks or months. You can double-check your state’s deadlines here and register to vote in the new registration portal that our partner When We All Vote, @WWAV created for us. If you are already registered to vote, make sure you update your address and party affiliation.
Getting involved in your local and state races can be incredibly impactful. It allows you to make changes that will affect you directly. Whether you are a registered voter or non-eligible, know that you can make a difference, no matter how small. If you have any questions or you’re not sure about something, please check out this nifty resource @WWAV has put together.
Are you ready, Tumblr? Let’s make a difference.
In just about six weeks, on November 6, you will have the privilege of exercising your right to vote in the midterm elections. You, the people, will determine one-third of all U.S. senators and all 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives. And we want you to feel empowered as hell as you make it happen.
But you can only make a difference if you’re registered to vote.
Take a few minutes right now and visit NVRD (@nationalvoterregistrationday) to register anytime between now and then. Don’t forget: if you’ve recently changed your name or moved across state lines, you need to update your registration. Have questions? @plannedparenthood wants to help! This Monday, September 24, they will be answering your questions about voting. Go ahead and head over to their ask box now.
Stay informed. Over the next six weeks, right up until election day, we’re going to highlight and partner up with a number of organizations that can help you stay educated about issues that matter most. We’ll put a spotlight on some of our old favorites for educational resources, like @everytown for sensible gun laws and Fight for the Future (@fight4future) for net neutrality. You can also look forward to hearing more from:
Be on the lookout for more information on these events in the coming weeks! We want you there.
Phew. That was a lot. We know. But this is important stuff. The past few years may have felt particularly exhausting to you. You’re not alone. Take care of yourselves however you can, and remember that you and your vote matter. Let your voice be heard.
And one more time, for good measure:
