National Voter Registration Day is Tuesday, Sept. 15, and Henderson is among the Nevada communities recognizing the date on its official calendar.
If you want to organize something where you live, the event itself can stay simple: Choose a place people already use, line up a few helpers and make sure attendees know where to find reliable election information.
Here’s where to start:
Find a place and connect with local organizations
Libraries, campuses, community centers, nonprofits, faith communities and local businesses can all work if you have permission to use the space.
For a nonpartisan civic education contact, the League of Women Voters of Nevada maintains voter outreach and education programs. Its current materials identify nonpartisanship as a core League principle.
Make the Road Nevada also runs civic engagement programming and has offices in Las Vegas and Reno, giving organizers another local group they can contact when looking for community connections.
Treat those contacts as places to ask about collaboration, not guarantees that an organization will staff or co-host your event.
Download the free materials
National Voter Registration Day offers a 2026 Field Organizer Toolkit with event-planning resources.
There are also free communications templates and downloadable posters and signs.
The Sept. 3 deadline to sign up as a community partner for a free printed poster has passed, but downloadable materials remain available in several languages, including Spanish, Chinese and Tagalog.
Add a Courier resource to your setup
Consider placing a QR code for The Nevadan’s voter tool on your table or event materials.
That gives attendees a Courier election resource they can open on their own while volunteers stay focused on running the event.
For questions that require official election information, point attendees to their county or state election office.
Make the event easy to navigate
You do not need a large team.
Assign one person to handle logistics, another to manage promotion and partner outreach and, if useful, someone to take photos with permission.
Think about clear signage, language access and whether the venue is easy to enter and move through.
Promote it and keep it nonpartisan
Share the event through flyers, social media, community partners and local media.
National Voter Registration Day describes itself as a nonpartisan civic holiday, so keep candidate and ballot-measure advocacy separate from the event.
