Every year, millions of Americans find themselves unable to vote because they miss a registration deadline, don't update their registration or aren't sure how to register. According to U.S. Census data, 27% of voting-age citizens were not registered to vote in the 2020 election.
National Voter Registration Day, first observed in 2012, serves as a day to make sure everyone has the information they need in order to register and vote.
