Make Your Vote Count
Register To Vote and Take Action
Your right to vote is the most powerful way for you to have your voice heard and plant a stake for the issues that matter most to you and your community. In a year of challenging primary races and long-awaited Governor challenges, it is as important as ever to have every vote counted - but it all starts with registering to vote, mobilizing your community and taking action wherever you are.
With every coming election, millions of Americans find themselves unable to vote due to missed deadlines or various obstacles leading them to register. In 2022, the options to register to vote are numerous and depend on your State - but deadlines still loom and it is important to know what you need to provide in order to register. National Voter Registration Day is also held every year - this year it will be September 22nd 2022, and on that day, nationwide, all voting-age Americans are encouraged to find a registration site and countless organizations make the process easier through events and outreach programs.
Primaries are fast-approaching and the table below is a reminder of the key dates ahead for you to know and prepare for. With the election dates in mind, you need to be aware of your registration deadlines. The table below will help you understand and identify your registration deadlines.
As you prepare to register to vote and mobilize your community to do the same, below are also some helpful links to help guide you in the process and offer more information on what to expect and how to get it done.
Register to vote and make your voice be heard. The choice is yours, the future is in your hands.
