Bowie State Celebrates National Voter Registration Day

 

Today is National Voter Registration Day, the nation’s largest civic holiday, with well over 5 million voter registrations since 2012.  

Ensuring that our electoral outcomes reflect the will of the American people requires making sure that as many people as possible participate at the ballot box as registered voters. 

Here’s how you can ensure your voice is heard: 

• Register to vote or check your registration online. You can use National Voter Registration Day’s Online Voter Registration Portal. It’s simple, free, and secure. Even if online voter registration is unavailable in your state, you can easily start the process online, no matter where you live. 

• Attend a BSU Voter Registration Event. Bowie State is hosting two voter registration events on Oct. 3 and Oct. 9.   

• Learn more about civic engagement on BSU’s website. We provide information about your rights and resources as a registered voter.  

• Spread the word! Once you’re registered to vote, connect with family and friends and post to social media, encouraging your network to register to vote. 

The BSU community is also encouraged to attend a variety of civic engagement events occurring on campus or online:
