national_voter_registration_dayGet ready to get your civic engagement on - today is National Voter Registration day! 

All across the country, hundreds of volunteers will be brandishing their clipboards to register voters. In 2008, 6 million Americans didn't vote because they missed a registration deadline or didn't know how to register. We can't let that happen in 2012.

The hope is to make voter registration ubiquitous tomorrow so tens of thousands of voters can register. In the DMV area, there'll be volunteers at some metro stops, restaurants, college campuses and more to give everyone the opportunity to register. Put in your zip code to find a registration spot near you.
