National Voter Registration Day (NVRD) is celebrated each year on the third Tuesday of September.
First organized in 2012, NVRD is the nation’s largest, nonpartisan civic holiday dedicated to celebrating our democracy by registering to vote as many eligible Americans as possible. Since that first 2012 celebration, the holiday has helped more than 5 million Americans register to vote through the collective efforts of thousands of volunteers, nonprofit organizations, businesses, schools, libraries, election officials, and friends just like you from all over the country.
By engaging all those partners in a massive single-day event, we aim to saturate the media, light up the internet, and reach the scores of Americans who either haven’t yet registered to vote, or simply need to update their registration due to a recent move, name change, or other reason.
