SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN — An opportunity for young voters to register will be coming to southwest Michigan.

On Sept. 24, the League of Women Voters of Berrien and Cass Counties will join with thousands of other elections officials and organizations across the country to celebrate National Voter Registration Day with focused, nonpartisan voter registration efforts and related publicity campaigns.

LWVBCC will register voters at Lake Michigan College’s Napier Avenue campus.  Students, staff and others may register at the league’s location immediately outside the main bookstore from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the college’s main headquarters building. Registration will also take place in the student activity center at Southwestern Michigan College in Dowagiac.

Every year, millions of Americans find themselves unable to vote because they miss a registration deadline, do no update their registration or are not sure how to register. National Voter Registration Day seeks to help eligible voters across the country participate in the democratic process, said LWVBCC representatives.

On National Voter Registration Day, organizations from all over the country will unite in a single day of coordinated field, technology, and media efforts to create broad awareness of voter registration opportunities and reach voters who may not register otherwise.

National Voter Registration Day has been endorsed by the National Association of Secretaries of State It is further supported by the National Association of State Election Directors.
