30th Anniversary of the National Voter Registration Act
ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATIONAL VOTER REGISTRATION ACT
Join the League of Women Voters as we celebrate the anniversary of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) - also known as the Motor Voter Act - enacted on May 20, 1993.
The law resulted in voter registration being offered to any eligible person who applies for or renews a driver's license or applies for public assistance. It also requires the United States Postal Service to mail election materials of a state as if the state is a nonprofit.
The League of Women Voters was instrumental in getting the NVRA passed. Read more about League's role

This landmark legislation has allowed millions of people to register to vote — and the League of Women Voters is a major part of that. In the 1980s and 90s, LWV led the campaign for the NVRA's passage. When it was finally signed into law, President Bill Clinton gave the League of Women Voters the pen he used to sign it into law, calling the League "fighters for freedom."
We believe registering and voting is the best way for each of us to decide what happens in our country. The League of Women Voters also registers voters at many events during each year.
Join the League and help us with our mission to register and inform voters.
