League hosts voter registration day at Lake Park High Sept. 20

Sept. 20 is National Voter Registration Day, a nonpartisan civic holiday that celebrates our democracy. To help celebrate this holiday, the League of Women Voters of Roselle-Bloomingdale will host a new voter registration event at the West Campus of Lake Park High School to help eligible students register to vote.

Founded in 2012, National Voter Registration Day is designed to create an annual moment when the entire nation focuses on registering Americans to exercise their most basic right - the right to vote. National Voter Registration Day is part of a massive cross-country effort to register voters.

Every eligible American voter should have the option to exercise their right to be heard at the ballot box, and National Voter Registration Day is the right day to start by getting registered. Thousands of national, state, and local organizations are the driving force behind National Voter Registration Day 2022. Nearly 4.5 million Americans have registered to vote on the holiday since the inaugural National Voter Registration Day in 2012. The League of Women Voters of Roselle-Bloomingdale is proud to be a National Voter Registration Day partner.

The future of our families, our communities, and our country are at stake - so it's vitally important for all eligible people to become voters and actively participate in our democracy.
