]]> National Voter Registration Week – Oct 5-9 https://phennd.org/update/national-voter-registration-week-oct-5-9/ Tue, 21 Jul 2020 16:11:22 +0000 https://phennd.org/?post_type=update&p=69211 National Voter Education Week (NVEW) is a digital voter education initiative that will take place the week of October 5-9, 2020.

Throughout our years of experience in the student voter engagement space, we have seen many efforts focused on voter registration and voter turnout, but few focused on voter education — an essential component in ensuring that those who are registered actually cast a ballot.

Complementing the incredible success of National Voter Registration Day and the exciting launch of Vote Early Day, National Voter Education Week is a nonpartisan digital voter education campaign that equips voters with the tools, information, and confidence they need to cast their ballots. The full list of founding partners and steering committee members can be found in the press release here.

Please join us! We have two different partnership opportunities: Partners and Creatives. As a partner, we’ll share advanced resources with your organization, and will work together to make sure that information reaches young people across the country. Creatives will work with NVEW to craft unique and original content that can be shared widely to everyone participating in the campaign. To get involved, visit https://votereducationweek.org/partners.

]]> National Voter Registration Day https://phennd.org/update/national-voter-registration-day-2/ Sun, 24 Sep 2017 19:57:06 +0000 https://phennd.org/?post_type=update&p=53655 National Voter Registration Day is September 26, 2017! Are YOU registered? Opportunity Youth United is proud to support this national effort, as we move forward with our mission to build power within low-income communities by increasing the number of registered voters.

What is National Voter Registration Day?

First started for the 2012 presidential election, National Voter Registration Day has become a 50-state holiday where thousands of organizations and volunteers organize to ensure our family, friends, and neighbors are registered to vote.

Why register in 2017, you may ask? Our answer: States, cities, counties and towns have big elections this fall. Primaries for next year’s state and national elections are months away. As a nonpartisan coalition of organizations, National Voter Registration Day is the perfect opportunity to get involved no matter what party you support or which issues matter most to you.

I invite you learn more about the national effort by clicking here and use #NationalVoterRegistrationDay on social media to spread the word!
