Need a reason to register to vote in time for this fall’s General Election? How about this: It’s National Voter Registration Day!

The National Association of Secretaries of State, in which Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman is involved as an executive board member, has declared September 22 as National Voter Registration Day. NASS also has chosen September as National Voter Registration Month.

If you’re a Washington citizen who isn’t registered to vote and you want to vote in this year’s General Election, you have until October 5 to register online or make an address change or other updates. October 26 is the deadline for new voter registrations prior to the General Election, but you have to register in person at your county elections department.
