The City of Saginaw will observe National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday, September 19. This nonpartisan civic holiday provides information regarding how to register to vote and celebrates the nation’s democracy and right to be heard during the election period.
National Voter Registration Day was established to broaden awareness of voter registration opportunities to citizens who, otherwise, may not register to vote. United States Census data from 2020 shows that about 1 in 4 eligible voters are not registered to vote. National Voter Registration Day strives to reach the millions of Americans who are unable to vote due to missed registration deadlines, outdated registration, or a lack of knowledge on how to register. Residents can exercise their right to be heard at the ballot box, and it begins with registering to vote.
The Saginaw City Clerk’s office, located at 1315 S. Washington Ave Room 102, will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. to assist citizens who would like to verify their registration, register to vote or need to update their current voter registration.
“The 2024 election season is approaching and National Voter Registration Day is a great time to stop in the Clerk’s office to register or update your registration information. We are here to assist citizens and answer any questions they may have about registration, polling locations, or other general election questions,” said City Clerk Kris Bolzman.
For more information on voter registration, contact the City Clerk’s office by phone at (989) 759-1480 or email clerk@saginaw-mi.com. The Clerk’s office is located at 1315 S. Washington Ave., Room 102. They are open Mon-Fri 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Residents can also visit the State of Michigan Voter Information Center at https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us.
