By Chyann Sapp, Campaign Director, National Voter Registration Day
As we get closer to officially launching the 2026 National Voter Registration Day campaign, our team is looking ahead with excitement and purpose.
On September 15, 2026, communities across the country will once again come together to help people register to vote. This work feels especially meaningful as the United States approaches 250 years of history and the advancement of our democracy. It is a moment to reflect on the strength of our democracy and what it will take to ensure it continues to thrive for generations to come.
At the core of that future is participation. Democracy works best when more people are able to take part, and voter registration is where that participation begins.
Across its fourteen year history, National Voter Registration Day has always been nonpartisan. Registering to vote is about much more than any political parties or candidates. It is about access, opportunity, and making sure people can engage in civic life if they choose to do so. This day is, and forever will be, for everyone.
Each year, nonprofits, campuses, libraries, election offices, faith communities, businesses, and local partners play a role in making voter registration visible, accessible, and a little bit joyful. That shared effort is what makes National Voter Registration Day possible and what continues to set it apart as a truly national civic moment.
As we look ahead to September, we are excited to build another campaign rooted in inclusion, collaboration, and participation.
More details will be shared soon. We encourage you to keep an eye out for opportunities to sign up, get involved, and take part in National Voter Registration Day together.
