We love this playful reminder that voter registration is a big deal (and the lack of it is a dealbreaker). All areas of our lives are impacted by voting, from our access to education to the quality of our roads to the success of local businesses. Everyone should be registered to vote so they can make their voice heard!
This video keeps it simple: your vote is your voice!

The Latest from the League
Our nation is at a crucial turning point, how we proceed will determine whether our democracy survives. Our system of government is fractured, but the will of the people is strong. We don’t have a reputation for backing down and we will not give up now. Quite the opposite.
Just as our advocacy led, directly or indirectly, to all the gains mentioned above, our actions can save our democracy in this pivotal moment.
