Penn State will celebrate National Voter Registration Day with a virtual voter event from 1 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, September 22, the university announced Monday.

Through a Zoom workshop, University Libraries hopes to connect community members and students to voter registration resources to help them get ready for November 3’s general election.

National Voter Registration Day works to help register Americans all over the country to vote on Election Day. Since its inception in 2012, the event has helped register nearly 3 million Americans.

Pennsylvanians have until October 19 to register to vote and until October 27 to request an absentee ballot. Ballots in Pennsylvania must be cast by 8 p.m. on November 3.

The University Libraries is one of the thousands of national, state, and local organizations working to bring in-person and virtual voter registration events across the country. You can find more information on National Voter Registration Day through its website.
