National Voter Registration Day is

Tuesday, September 20

National Voter Registration Day is celebrated every year on a Tuesday in September. First organized in 2012, it is the nation’s largest, nonpartisan civic holiday dedicated to celebrating our democracy by registering as many eligible Americans to vote as possible through the collective efforts of thousands of volunteers, nonprofit organizations, businesses, schools, libraries, and election officials. The next California election will be the 2022 Primary Election on November 8.
