For support of National Voter Registration Day

Date

Dec. 11, 2025

Duration

36 months

Description

As many as one in four eligible Americans are not registered to vote and every year, millions of Americans are unable to vote because of a problem with their voter registration, a missed deadline, an outdated or missing record, among other issues. Established in 2012, National Voter Registration Day (NVRD) is a day of coordinated, nonpartisan media and field events aimed at raising awareness of the registration process and empowering citizens to access their fundamental right to vote. Backed by a bipartisan coalition and embraced across sectors, the holiday remains a nonpartisan space for celebrating and fostering broad-based civic participation. To date, the partners in NVRD have registered more than six million eligible voters. With Corporation support, Nonprofit VOTE will continue to spearhead NVRD and collaborate with corporate partners, national nonprofits, election associations of both parties, and other civic institutions in engaging millions of voters in the democratic process.

Every year, millions of Americans are unable to vote because of a problem with their voter registration or a missed deadline. These are often low-income people who frequently move, young citizens who are unfamiliar with the process, and naturalized citizens who are new to the franchise. Established in 2012, National Voter Registration Day (NVRD) is a day of coordinated, nonpartisan media and field events aimed at raising awareness of the registration process and empowering citizens to access their fundamental right to vote. In 2016, President Barack Obama declared NVRD as a national holiday. To date, the partners in NVRD have registered more than 4.4 million eligible voters.

Every year, millions of Americans are unable to vote due to issues with their voter registration or a missed registration deadline. These issues disproportionately affect low-income people, who relocate more frequently, young voters who are new to the process, and new citizens who have only recently become eligible to vote. National Voter Registration Day (NVRD) was established in 2012 as a coordinated, nonpartisan day of action to raise awareness of the voter registration process and to ensure that voters are not denied their fundamental right to vote. In 2016, President Obama proclaimed NVRD a national holiday. Through partnerships with major election associations of both major parties, business allies, major national nonprofits, and other acclaimed institutions, Nonprofit VOTE spearheads the activities and media campaigns around NVRD. With Corporation support, Nonprofit VOTE will continue to lead this nationwide effort to register voters and engage them in the democratic process.

Date

Duration

15 months

Description

Voter registration is one of the most significant barriers to voter participation. In 2012, five million Americans did not vote because they didn’t know how to register or because they missed their states’ deadline to register. National Voter Registration Day—which will take place on September 27, 2016—is a coordinated, nonpartisan effort by nonprofits, volunteers, celebrities, businesses, and the media to create pervasive awareness of voter registration opportunities across the country before voter registration deadlines begin. With Corporation support, in 2016 the Bus Federation Civic Fund—the organization that oversees this annual campaign—will recruit over 3,000 partners and 8,000 volunteers to register 500,000 voters through 1,500 events.
