Hey John,
Happy National Voter Registration Day! This special day was created to celebrate the democratic process and encourage more people to practice their civic duty.
One of my favorite political jobs I’ve ever had was registering voters for the 2008 election on college campuses and at music festivals with New Era Colorado, a youth civic engagement organization. Empowering young people of all backgrounds to realize their power helped us accomplish huge changes in our state, and the first step was registering them to vote.
Today is a day of action to continue that important work in every community.
In honor of today, here are three different ways we hope you’ll join us in celebrating:
1. Check your voter registration!
Whether you vote in every election or the next one will be your first, now is a great time to make sure your voter registration is all up to date or to register for the first time! Click here to check your voter registration status.
2. Help us register more voters!
Registering new voters is one of our most important responsibilities as a state party. Help us do this by donating $15, $30 or $45 to register one, two, and three new voters.
3. Sign up to volunteer with the CO Democratic Party!
Are you interested in checking in with voters and helping to get out the vote this fall? Sign up to volunteer to knock on doors, make phone calls, write postcards, and more.

Thank you,
Shad Murib, CDP Chair
