Supporting the recognition of September 16, 2025, as "National Voter Registration Day".
This is a House Resolution (H. Res. 726) introduced in the 119th Congress. It expresses the House’s support for designating September 16, 2025, as “National Voter Registration Day.” The resolution also encourages voting-eligible U.S. citizens to register to vote, verify that their registration records (name, address, and other identifying information) are current with their local election officials, and to vote on election day if they choose to participate. The measure is ceremonial in nature and does not create new laws, impose requirements, or provide funding. Its primary purpose is to raise awareness and promote civic participation around voter registration and voting. Because the resolution is non-binding, its impact is mainly symbolic and educational. It can help amplify public messaging about voter registration and may encourage collaboration among federal, state, and local election officials, community organizations, and voters, but it does not change how elections are run or financed.
