Tuesday, Sept. 20, is National Voter Registration Day. Stop by the Olmsted Breezeway or Helmick Commons between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to fill out a registration form and get all your voter registration questions answered. All passersby will receive a sweet treat to celebrate civic engagement.

According to U.S. Census data from 2020, as many as one in four eligible Americans are not registered to vote. Every year, millions of Americans find themselves unable to vote because they miss a registration deadline, don’t update their registration, or aren’t sure how to register. National Voter Registration Day wants to make sure everyone has the opportunity to vote.
