Happy National Voter Registration Day!

Happy National Voter Registration Day! Have you registered to vote, or checked to make sure that your voter registration is current and active?

A circular button that says "VOTE" and has red and blue stripes with white starsIf you’re a person with a disability, it may be more difficult to check your voter registration than it is for non-disabled voters. Reports have shown that most states’ online voter registration systems are inaccessible.

Around the country, advocates like you are educating their election officials about the importance of making all parts of the voting process, including registration, accessible to voters with disabilities. But we still have so much work to do, and we need YOUR help to accomplish it. Register to vote today, and then donate to NCIL’s Voting Rights Fund to ensure we can continue this important work through the midterm elections and beyond.
