National Voter Registration Day

Description

One day is not enough for the League of Women Voters of the Comal Area (LWV-CA) to celebrate National Voter Registration Day this year.

LWV-CA will extend its activities from Sept. 26 to Sept. 28 as its volunteers help citizens register or update their registrations at two libraries, four high schools and the Comal County Election Center. "The League is committed to making democracy work for everyone, and registering to vote and voting is fundamental," said Roxanna Deane, president of the LWV-CA.

Since 2012, over 1.4 million people have registered to vote or updated their registration as part of National Voter Registration Day, celebrated annually on the 4th Tuesday in September. The League is one of over 2000 groups mobilizing nationwide to register voters on Sept. 26. LWV-CA members have been trained and certified to serve as Volunteer Deputy Registrars by county election officials.

"This is a great opportunity for those of you new to the area, new to voting, or just needing to update their registration," said Deane.

On Sept. 26, LWV-CA volunteers will be at:

• The Comal County Election Center at 396 N. Sequin Ave, New Braunfels from 11-3;
• The New Braunfels Library at 700 E Common St, New Braunfels from 10-2;
