The volunteers are from the League of Women Voters of the Greater Dayton Area and Miami Valley Votes, a coalition that includes Dayton Women’s Rights Alliance, the Miami Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, and the Dayton Unit of the NAACP.
Voter registration for the Nov. 8 election can be done through the Oct. 11 deadline at one’s county board of elections or any public library. Registration and updates may also be done online at https://olvr.ohiosos.gov.
National Voter Registration Day is a nonpartisan civic holiday to celebrate the nation’s democracy and “create broad awareness of voter registration opportunities to reach tens of thousands of voters who may not register otherwise,” according to the National Voter Registration Day 2022 website.
As many as 1 in 4 eligible Americans are not registered to vote, according to 2020 U.S. Census data.
“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,” said officials at NVRD. “National Voter Registration Day wants to make sure everyone has the opportunity to vote.”
