National Voter Registration Day

Crisis Assistance Ministry teamed up with the League of Women Voters to observe National Voter Registration Day. Held on the fourth Tuesday of September each year, the day is designed to celebrate democracy and highlight the importance of voting. 

September 28, 2021

Crisis Assistance Ministry teamed up with the League of Women Voters to observe National Voter Registration Day. Held on the fourth Tuesday of September each year, the day is designed to celebrate democracy and highlight the importance of voting. 

Since its inception in 2012, over 4 million Americans have registered to vote on National Voter Registration Day. A strong democracy depends on citizen participation, so ensuring everyone has the opportunity to vote is critical.  

Armed with helpful information and fun treats, nonpartisan volunteers from the League of Women Voters Charlotte Mecklenburg greeted guests as they arrived at Crisis Assistance Ministry. These volunteers registered voters, helped update existing registrations, answered questions, and educated customers about elections and the voting process. 

While National Voter Registration Day is a special day of celebration, this vital work occurs throughout the year thanks to an ongoing partnership between the League of Women Voters and Crisis Assistance Ministry. Volunteers regularly set up a station outside the agency’s front door to offer assistance and information to potential voters. 

The 2020 Census data indicates that nearly 25% of eligible Americans are not registered to vote. In addition, every year, millions of registered voters cannot cast their ballots due to missing deadlines, failing to update their registration information, or going to the wrong polling location. 

As with so many aspects of life recently, the upcoming elections in Charlotte will look different. Delays in the 2020 Census data release resulted in insufficient time to redraw the city’s districts before the typical November election day.  

As a result, only residents of Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville, and Stallings will vote in municipal elections on November 2, 2021. The City of Charlotte primary elections have been rescheduled for March 8, 2022, and the general election is expected to be held on April 26, 2022.  

Are you #VoteReady? Here are some resources to help ensure you are up-to-date and ready to make your vote count. 

  • Register to vote or update your registration online at www.NationalVoterRegistrationDay.org. This is especially important if you’ve recently moved or changed your name. 
  • Get personalized voting information at Vote411, nonpartisan information provided by the League of Women Voters. 
  • Discover North Carolina’s official voting information, brought to you by Nonprofit VOTE. 
  • Check your voter registration and obtain additional local information from the Mecklenburg County Board of Elections. 

Register. Vote. Be heard. #NationalVoterRegistrationDay

We can't wait for next month's LIVE MUSIC tribute benefitting families served here. Rock Star Randy Franklin has put together a great show at @theeveningmuse featuring @kennyroby of @6stringdrag and other local musicians in a tribute to the craft of songwriting. This show has been known to sell out, so you'll want to grab your tickets soon. (Use the Quick Link in our bio)

Pssst . . . we've got plenty of room for group and individual #volunteers this summer (and even this fall). These great folks from @wellsfargo helped prepare donated clothing for Free Store shoppers yesterday. Meanwhile, individual volunteers helped get customers connected to emergency financial assistance. You can find the perfect opportunity for you OR your teens by visiting our VOLUNTEER tab on our website. (link in bio)

This volunteer team from @CareRingNC's Nurse Family Partnership brought a burst of energy Friday as they inspected and hung clothes in the warehouse and then helped stock the Free Store. We had a hard time keeping up with them, but with their help the store is now stocked and ready for up to 60 Mecklenburg County families per day to shop free-of-charge thanks to the generosity of our community. And the store looks fabulous, thanks to awesome #volunteers!

An avid reader, Haley is among 150+ area scholars who will attend overnight camp this summer with the help of @wayfindersnc. Mom Amber is focused on the basics, but then a new summer companion catches Haley's eye. Join her on her shopping trip at the link in bio: Meet Haley's New Friend

Crisis Assistance Ministry is closed today to observe Juneteenth. But the question remains: while Juneteenth commemorates the arrival of legal emancipation for formerly enslaved people, when will we loose the chains of economic disparity and move our community toward a place of equity?
