Don’t Sit This One Out. Register to Vote

Rockville will host National Voter Registration Day with a voter registration drive on Tuesday, Sept. 15. Staff from the City Clerk’s Office/Director of Council Operations and members of the Board of Supervisors of Elections will be in front of the stage from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at The Square in Rockville Town Center to sign up new voters and assist residents with updating their voter registration. 

More than 6 million Americans have registered to vote or updated their registration on National Voter Registration Day since the civic holiday launched in 2012. The one-day, nonpartisan drive enlists thousands of partners, from libraries and schools to major tech companies and nonprofits, to boost voter rolls and ensure eligible voters don’t miss deadlines or fall through the cracks of the registration process. 

This year’s drive comes ahead of a November general election that will decide Maryland’s governor, other statewide offices and the state’s congressional delegation. Marylanders may register at age 16 but must be 18 by Election Day to cast a ballot.
