It's National Voter Registration Day!

Sept. 17, 2024, is National Voter Registration Day, a nonpartisan civic holiday dedicated to celebrating our democracy and making sure Americans who are eligible to vote are properly registered and ready to cast their ballot on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Sept. 17 is also Constitution Day, marking the anniversary (Sept. 17, 1787) of the day the delegates to the Constitutional Convention met for the last time to sign the document they had created.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
The Constitution of the United States
