Why Do We Need National Voter Registration Day?

Next Tuesday (September 25) is National Voter Registration Day, a holiday that sees the nation-wide coordination of nonprofits, libraries, media companies (like Tumblr and others) and more all working to register as many eligible American to vote. 

Why? 

In 2016, 1 in 4 voters were deemed ineligible due to a registration problem (missed deadlines, etc.). Our democracy works BEST when more people have access and express their voice at the ballot box. 

So why is this important in 2018?

One word: Midterms. 

This year, decisions will be made that determine who runs your state, legislatures, governorships, city elections, and more… and how your state is represented in Congress

By all accounts, this year’s midterms are on the minds of the American people in a way that seems wholly different than 2014’s elections. A June report from Pew Research shows that voter enthusiasm toward this November’s election is up 10% over the last midterm four years prior. Many nonprofits have felt the energy in the streets and online. This year just seems to feel different.

And maybe that’s because Americans are coming to understand that midterms, while not as flashy as the general election, have MAJOR consequences on how they live their life day-to-day. At a state level, there are dozens of Governors races that have direct influence on everyday concerns – how much money will be spent on education, the environment, defense? That decision is in their hands and they know it.

For a better picture, here’s what registered American citizens will be deciding IF they are registered to vote:

·       435 seats in the United States House of Representatives

·       35 seats in the United States Senate

·       39 state and territorial governorships

·       Various other state and local elections

So what can YOU DO? It’s simple, REGISTER TO VOTE ON SEPTEMBER 25! Go to nationalvoterregistrationday.org/register to do it!

Every year, millions of Americans are unable to vote because of their #VoterRegistration status. Often they’re not registered to begin with; sometimes they forget to update their registration after moving; some are even purged from their state’s voter rolls.
