BOONE, Iowa—On September 24, 2019, the Boone County Auditor’s Elections Office will be joining with thousands of other elections officials and others across the country to celebrate National Voter Registration Day.

On August 28, 2019, the Boone County Board of Supervisors signed a proclamation declaring September as National Voter Registration Month and Tuesday, September 24, 2019 as National Voter Registration Day in an effort to increase voter participation. National Voter Registration Day seeks to help eligible voters across the country participate in our democratic process.

On National Voter Registration Day, organizations from all over the country will hit the streets͟ in a single day of coordinated field, technology, and media efforts to create broad awareness of voter registration opportunities and reach voters who may not register otherwise.

National Voter Registration Day has been endorsed by the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS), the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED), the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) and the National Association of Election Officials (The Election Center).

There are many ways to register to vote in Iowa. The easiest for most Iowans is online. There is a link to the online voter registration form on the Auditor’s website at https://www.boonecounty.iowa.gov/government/auditor or at the Secretary of State’s website at sos.iowa.gov/registertovote. Forms are also available to be picked up at the Auditor’s office, 201 State Street in Boone, or at your local library or city hall. For any questions or to request a voter registration form by mail, call the Auditor’s office at 515-433-0502.

National Voter Registration Day is held on the fourth Tuesday of September. In 2019, it will be observed on Tuesday, September 24th. Visit NationalVoterRegistrationDay.org for more.
