On September 15, 2026, we celebrated National Voter Registration Day with a cross-country effort to register voters ahead of this year’s presidential election.

Updated: September 16, 2026

Every eligible American voter should have the option to exercise their right to be heard at the ballot box, and National Voter Registration Day is the right day to start by getting registered. Communities across the country, in all 50 states and D.C., are planning to use National Voter Registration Day to get registered and get #VoteReady.

Future voters can visit any DCDL branch to complete their paper voter registration form. The League of Women Voters has also provided information to help people register to vote, check their registration, and become an informed voter.

NationalVoterRegistrationDay.org provides a listing of National Voter Registration Day events across the country, in communities, and being held virtually. It also includes comprehensive and state-specific resources on all things voter registration and voting more generally.

Founded in 2012 and celebrated each September, National Voter Registration Day involves dedicated Partners of every stripe from all over the country hitting the streets for a single star-spangled awesome day of coordinated field, digital, and media action focused squarely on growing our shared democracy.  Over 5 million Americans have registered to vote on the holiday since the inaugural National Voter Registration Day.
