Today, September 25, 2018, marks the 7th annual National Voter Registration Day. Indications are this will be the largest National Voter Registration Day ever with 4,000 diverse partner organizations and businesses, of which SACE is proud to join, across the nation organizing a massive nationwide effort to register voters ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
Every year, millions of eligible voters are unable to cast a ballot because of a missed registration deadline, outdated registration information, or other problem with their voter registration. According to Pew, as many as one in four eligible voters in the country are not registered to vote or have an outdated voter registration. This is what National Voter Registration Day organizers seek to change.
