National Voter Registration Day at NYIT

National Voter Registration Day (NVRD) is an annual event celebrating our democracy. Every year millions of Americans find themselves unable to vote because they missed a registration deadline, failed to update their registration, or didn't know how to register. The goal of NVRD is to make sure everyone has the opportunity to vote.

As a college with students from dozens of countries, our community recognizes the privilege of voting and embraces the responsibility of empowering people to use their political voices to affect change. This is why we participate in the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge, a national program encouraging colleges and universities to increase student voting rates.

On September 24, volunteers across the New York City and Long Island campuses will register people to vote and provide information on political institutions, organizations, and activities. Commit to volunteer on NVRD and contribute to a democratically engaged NYIT.

If you would like to learn how to register yourself and others to vote, you are welcome to participate in a Voter Registration Training facilitated by the League of Women Voters on Monday, September 23.
