Furthermore, Poder Latinx is proud to participate in this civic holiday for the third year in a row.

Moreover, Poder Latinx has been able to register close to 35,000 new voters.
National Voter Registration Day (NVRD)
As the midterm elections near, voter registration deadlines in most states are only a few weeks away.
In addition to this, it is more important than ever to register voters to participate in the November elections.
Besides Poder Latinx, partner organizations, elected officials, and local community members are invited.
They hope they will take part in uplifting the importance of registering to vote.
Not only that, they hope those invited will discuss how Latinx voters can affect the outcome of the 2022 election.
