Help Us Educate Students about the Voting Process
The next National Voter Registration Day will be celebrated at University of Mary Washington on Wednesday, September 18, 2024 in coordination with a national effort to increase voter registration. National Voter Registration Day is a national tradition celebrating our democracy. UMW Votes invites community partners and members of local, regional, and national campaigns to have a table on campus walk and share information with our students. In addition, the student help register voters and provide information about upcoming elections, while providing free T-shirts with a positive voting message.
Every year, millions of Americans are unable to vote because of a missed registration deadline or other problems with their registration. Recognizing this challenge, National Voter Registration Day was created in 2012 as a single day of coordinated media and field events to help eligible voters get registered, or update their registration, ahead of state deadlines.
