LANSING, Ill. (September 4, 2019) – The Lansing Public Library—with the assistance of volunteers from The League of Women Voters—plans to celebrate National Voter Registration Day on September 24 in the most appropriate way possible: by registering voters.
National Voter Registration Day is a 50-state effort to register voters before Election Day this November. The Lansing Public Library is a National Voter Registration Day partner. The library plans to engage its constituency and community and register voters onsite at the library. Other National Voter Registration Day events and locations across the country are posted on www.NationalVoterRegistrationDay.org.
“With Presidential Primary elections happening in March, every eligible American voter should exercise his or her right to be heard at the ballot box,” say materials provided by National Voter Registration Day. “September 24’s National Voter Registration Day is the right place to start by getting registered.”
Thousands of national, state, and local organizations and volunteers will be the driving force behind National Voter Registration Day 2019. Partner organizations will coordinate hundreds of National Voter Registration Day events nationwide and leverage #NationalVoterRegistrationDay on all social media platforms to drive attention to voter registration and the midterm elections.
Founded in 2012, National Voter Registration Day is designed to create an annual moment when the entire nation focuses on registering Americans to exercise their most basic right—the right to vote. More than two million Americans have registered to vote on this day since the inaugural National Voter Registration Day.
The Lansing Public Library is located at 2750 Indiana Avenue in Lansing, Illinois.
