Americans will celebrate National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday, September 19, with a nationwide initiative to register eligible individuals to vote and educate citizens about elections.

As part of the celebration, Lee County Elections will provide voter registration at libraries throughout Lee County on Monday, September 18, and Tuesday, September 19.

Supervisor of Elections Tommy Doyle encourages all eligible individuals to take advantage of this opportunity to register to vote ahead of the 2024 elections.

Voter registration and election services are also available online at www.lee.vote or any Lee County Supervisor of Elections office, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

In Collier County, members of the Supervisor of Elections office will be in the Collier community the entire week including at assisted living facilities, at the annual Marco Island Area Association Realtors Tradeshow and at local high schools for their High School Voter Registration Challenge.

“Our community thrives when its citizens are actively engaged in the electoral process,” Melissa Blazier, Collier County Supervisor of Elections. “National Voter Registration Day reaffirms our commitment to voting as we gear up for a busy election year.”
