While September has Labor Day, there’s one national day that deserves serious recognition, and that is National Voter Registration Day, observed on Tuesday, September 17.
Organized by the nonpartisan group, National Voter Registration Day, the day emphasizes the importance of registering to vote during any election cycle. Each vote counts and registering ensures that your voice as a voter is heard loud and clear at the ballot box. The last day to register to be eligible for this year’s current election cycle is Monday, October 21.
This day also reminds residents to check the status of their registrations. If you’re a new resident to the City, or if you’ve recently moved, it’s crucial to update your voter registration. Checking your voter registration status ensures you are eligible to vote in the upcoming elections and you receive the correct election-related materials.
To check your voter registration status or for more information, contact the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk at 800.815.2666 option 2, or visit their website at https://www.lavote.gov/vrstatus/
