National Voter Registration Day, Tuesday, September 17, 2024

To promote voting and civic engagement, volunteers representing eight (8) local non-partisan organizations: League of Women Voters of Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne (IN) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, Alive Community Outreach – Peacemakers, Northeast Indiana National Organization for Women, Gen Action Club of Purdue Fort Wayne, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc, A. Philip Randolph Institute, and Count US IN will provide voter registration and education opportunities in conjunction with National Voter Registration Day, Tuesday, September 17th.

The collaborative holiday, which includes thousands of community partners and over 100 major national organizations and corpo­rations, is housed at and managed by Nonprofit VOTE which itself provides nonpartisan resources to help nonprofits integrate voter engagement into their ongoing activities and services.

In addition to the high-profile presidential race, there are plenty of other races for Congress, gover­nor, state legislature, county council, school board, and more that have a direct impact on communities across the nation. Voters can learn about the candidates on their ballot by visiting the League of Women Voters election website: https://www.vote411.org/ to be Vote Ready.

We encourage all eligible voters to take a moment on National Voter Registration Day to check their voter registration status and, if unregistered, to register to vote. To vote in the 2024 General Election on or before November 5, 2024, all eligible Hoosiers must be registered to vote before registration closes on October 7, 2024.  Register to vote or check your voter status online:  https://indianavoters.in.gov/
