https://nationalvoterregistrationday.org/about/

National Voter Registration Day is a nation-wide coordinated effort organized to ensure that every eligible voter can vote.  On September 28th volunteers from Chippewa Valley Votes, a non-partisan group, will spread out across Eau Claire to register voters, provide information about polling places, and assist residents in verifying their voter registration information. Chippewa Valley Votes, as well as other regional organizations, will have voter registration booths set up at several venues where knowledgeable volunteers will be on hand to work with anyone who needs help registering to vote, or verifying their registration status.
