Secretary Condos Encourages Voters to Register for National Voter Registration Day

September 19 2022

Montpelier, VT – Today Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos encouraged Vermonters to register to vote for National Voter Registration Day (NVRD) on September 20^th. NVRD is a nonpartisan civic holiday celebrating democracy, held annually in September.

“When you register to vote and cast your ballot, you are strengthening our democracy just by participating.

While across the country new voter restrictions are making it harder to register and vote in some states, in Vermont we have worked to make it easier for eligible voters to get registered, and we have given voters more options for how to make their voice heard in our elections.

National Voter Registration Day is an opportunity for us to try and further reach those eligible Vermonters who are not yet registered.

No matter how you vote, or how you cast your ballot, we want you to register and vote. We’ve made it easy: you can register online at https://olvr.vermont.gov, automatically at the Department of Motor Vehicles, or by registering directly with your Town or City Clerk.

The November 8 General Election will be here before you know it. Vermont does have same-day voter registration, so if you forget to register before Election Day, you can still show up at the polls, register, and vote, but why wait and risk any complications? Register today, or for NVRD, and save yourself the hassle. Plus, once registered you have a number of early voting options you can consider.

Remember – your vote is your voice. Make sure you’re ready to use it. Happy National Voter Registration Day!”
