Talking points

• Every election, millions of American cannot cast a ballot because they do not know how to register or missed their local registration deadlines. National Voter Registration Day was created to combat this and make sure the American political process leaves no one behind.
• National Voter Registration Day is the largest one-day effort of the year to register voters. It falls on the fourth (4th) Tuesday of September. This year, National Voter Registration Day is September 27, 2016.
• In addition to the 2016 presidential race, countless number of state and federal elections will take place in November. This underscores the need to get registered now.
• Registering to vote is easy. You can stare the process online at www.NationalVoterRegistrationDay.org or at hundreds of National Voter Registration Day events across the nation. 
• In 2016, all 435 voting seats in the House of Representatives will be up for election. 32 of the 100 seats in the Senate are being contested. 12 state governors and 44 state legislatures are holding elections. This is one of the many reasons National Voter Registration Day is so important. On September 27, all Americans should make sure they are registered to vote.
• We encourage every Mpowerment Project to get involved!
