The National Association of Social Workers supports National Voter Registration Day on September 22.

More than six million Americans did not vote in 2008 because they missed registration deadlines or did not know how to register to vote.

On September 22 volunteers, celebrities and organizations will hit the streets and social media to tell people about voter registration.

Visit the official National Voter Registration Day website to find out how you can get involved.
