Tuesday, September 19, 2023 is National Voter Registration Day.

To mark the day, the Husker Vote Coalition is hosting two registration events:
• 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 19 on Nebraska Union Memorial Plaza
• 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept 21 at Nebraska East Union

Both are drop-by events and casual in nature. HVC members will provide information to students about how to register to vote in Nebraska or in their home state.

Additionally, student applications to serve as a Campus Vote Ambassador are due Sept. 22. The group is looking to add 25–30 more students to the 32 current ambassadors.
