NVRD is a nonpartisan civic holiday recognized by the U. S. Congress in 2012. It’s a day dedicated to celebrating our democracy. Tens of thousands of volunteers all over America have given their time to get millions of citizens registered to vote in time to cast their ballots in the next election.
Celebrated each September, NVRD community partners “hit the streets” – both in person and on social media – for a single day of coordinated actions focused squarely on growing our shared democracy. This year more than 10,000 volunteers will participate on this one day drive to register voters.
NVRD is endorsed by the National Association of Secretaries of State, National Association of State Election Directors, U.S. Election Assistance Commission and the National Association of Election Officials (The Election Center.)
LWVGP will conduct in-person voter registration and voter education activities.
We are hosting this one-day event at three locations:
- Grosse Pointe Park City Hall 2 p.m. – 5 p.m.
- Grosse Pointe Woods Community Center 2 p.m. – 5 p.m.
- Harper Woods Public Library 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.
LWVGP volunteers will:
- Register voters
- Demonstrate how to mark a ballot & use a tabulator
- Provide guidance on how to spot mis- and dis-information
- Recommend non-partisan fact-checking sources
- Answer questions about early & absentee voting.
Never helped register a voter? Brief training will be provided. Interested in volunteering?
Yes! I want to help register new voters!
We are very pleased that city officials in Grosse Pointe, Grosse Pointe Farms, Grosse Pointe Park, Grosse Pointe Shores, Grosse Pointe Woods, and the Grosse Pointe and Harper Woods public libraries have agreed to partner with us to support National Voter Registration Day!
