National Voter Registration Day, a nonpartisan civic holiday observed this year on Tuesday, September 22, is part of a larger campaign to ensure that all eligible Americans are registered to vote. First observed in 2012 and endorsed by the Association of Secretaries of State, the holiday has prompted more than than 3 million individuals to register to vote. Because this year’s voting is taking place amid a pandemic, it’s more important than ever that every eligible American is not only registered but has a plan in place for how their voice will be heard on November 3, 2020.
Carnegie Corporation of New York, one of more than 100 sponsors of National Voter Registration Day 2020, has long supported groups such as Rock the Vote, Vote.org, and other nonprofits that encourage civic engagement.
Below are some additional Corporation grantees that offer voting information and resources to help ensure participation and equality for all voters.
