Our Homes, Our Votes is NLIHC’s nonpartisan campaign to boost voter turnout among low-income renters and educate candidates about housing solutions. NLIHC and Our Homes, Our Votes are proud partners of National Voter Registration Day, a nonpartisan celebration of civic engagement that raises awareness about voter registration opportunities. NLIHC encourages all housing advocates to use the brand-new Our Homes, Our Votes Action Center to register to vote, check their voter registration status, and find information about upcoming elections in their communities.
Here are four ways to celebrate our democracy, make sure you are prepared to vote, and encourage nonpartisan civic engagement in your community tomorrow:
- Visit the Our Homes, Our Votes Action Center to register, confirm that your voter registration is updated, or find information about elections in your community. It is especially important to update your registration with your new address if you have recently moved.
- Once your registration is updated, send this link to at least three friends or family members. Research shows that personal outreach is one of the best ways to increase voter registration rates!
- Visit National Voter Registration Day’s website to find an in-person event taking place in your community or an online event.
- Spread the word on social media! Use the hashtags #VoteReady and #OurHomesOurVotes and be sure to tag @OurHomesVotes. You can also use resources from National Voter Registration Day’s communications hub to amplify the celebration.
