National Voter Registration Day is a nonpartisan civic holiday celebrating our democracy. Celebrated on the fourth Tuesday of September, this is a holiday where volunteers and organizations from all over the country will “hit the streets” in a single day of coordinated field, technology, and media efforts to educate and register voters. 

First observed in 2012, NVRD has quickly gained momentum. Nearly 4.5 million voters have registered to vote on the holiday to date. According to U.S. Census data from 2020, as many as 1 in 4 eligible Americans are not registered to vote. MOVE Texas has played a lead role in organizing and coordinating spaces for this national voting celebration and historically broken national records with our voter registration goals. 

Voter registration is the first step someone will take in their journey toward becoming more civically involved. Registering young people to vote helps ensure they are equipped, ready, and able to make their voices heard at the ballot box and beyond. 

Many students learn to vote for the first time at college, so hosting registration drives and education events on college campuses are crucial for reaching and engaging young voters, especially with Texas having the second largest college student population in the country. College students casting ballots doubled from 2014 to 2018 and has only increased in recent years. 

For National Voter Registration Day, we’re not just registering voters; we’re utilizing voter registration to get our foot in the door and have conversations with voters about the things that matter most to them. Young people are tired of the current system and sick of not having representation, so they’re building their own–and we at MOVE Texas are giving them the space to do so. 

Ensuring young Texans are registered to vote reinforces the importance of our work at MOVE: mobilizing and organizing young people to engage with all aspects of the political process and have their voices heard at the ballot box and beyond. Registering people to vote creates a stronger, more representative America. 

We know that by investing in young people, we can build the power it takes to influence elections, legislation, and policies at every level of government to improve the lives of all Texans.
