Election Season Is Here: Tap Into National Voter Education Week. Get Ready to Vote!

By Urban League of Westchetser Published Oct 7, 2025

National Voter Education Week is here — a nationwide, nonpartisan movement helping voters bridge the gap between registering to vote and actually casting a ballot.

From October 6–10, 2025, voters across the country will have the opportunity to find their polling location, understand their ballot, make a plan to vote, and inspire others to do the same. This interactive week of learning and action empowers every eligible voter to confidently navigate the democratic process and overcome common barriers to participation.

Today’s generation of new voters is eager to make their voices heard, but systemic barriers and a lack of clear information can often stand in the way. NVEW provides the tools and resources needed to close that gap, ensuring that all registered voters not only know how to vote, but also feel ready to do so.

Your Five-Step Voting Checklist

  1. Register to Vote – Confirm your registration or register today.
  2. Get to Know Your Ballot – Learn what’s on it before Election Day.
  3. Make a Plan to Vote – Decide whether you’ll vote early, by mail, or in person.
  4. Understand the Process – Know your rights and what to expect at the polls.
  5. Share With Friends and Family – Encourage others to vote and make their voices count.

People are more likely to vote when someone they trust asks them to. As a trusted messenger, you can play a vital role in empowering your community to cast their ballots with confidence.

Defend Democracy and Reclaim Your Vote

We believe that our right to vote is sacred, and it is under attack. We’re leading the charge to protect that right for all Americans, regardless of race, gender, religion, or zip code. Through our coordinated grassroots efforts, we’re registering, educating, and mobilizing voters nationwide to ensure every voice is heard and every vote is counted.

No more waiting for change, you ARE the change. Your vote can shape policies that reflect our collective dreams, values, and needs.

Join the movement to #ReclaimYourVote and #DefendDemocracy during National Voter Education Week. Together, we can ensure that every eligible voter becomes a confident, informed, and active participant in our democracy.
