In an effort to ensure nobody misses their chance to vote, one day is designated to the cause.
Tuesday, September 24, 2013 is National Voter Registration Day. Volunteers hit the streets to offer the opportunity to register or information on registering.
According to the National Voter Registration Day website, in 2008 about 6 million people didn’t vote because they either missed a deadline or didn’t know how to register.
“In 2013 we want to make sure no one is left out,” it reads.
