National Voter Registration day pushes community members to register

47 ABC –  Tuesday marks National Voter Registration Day and events were held across the nation to motivate people to vote.

In places like Dover, the League of Women Voters set up shop at the Dover Public Library to give out information. We’re told this is a big day not just in Delaware but across the nation to offer insight and bring that final push before deadline approaches.

The last day to register to vote is October 13, which will allow you to participate in the general election on November 6th.

Donna Reed is one of the League of Women Voters who says, “On a very personal note my father fought in World War 2. He’s been gone many, many years and I always feel that we can do for that generation is to vote. It’s the absolute least we can do is protect our democracy and to honor who have fought very hard to come to this day.”

In Delaware, you can sign up to vote through their online voter registration or in person. You can also register by printing the National Voter Registration Form and mailing it to your local election office.
