全國選民登記日在紐約市為什麼很重要
National Voter Registration Day 2024 (official website) gives us a chance to reflect on the fact that NYC currently has over 5 million registered voters. That’s a lot. In fact, it’s more than some of the country's other big cities including Chicago, Houston, and Philadelphia. Nearly 4 out of every 5 city residents are registered and eligible to cast their ballot. We’ve come a long way. But in a city of over 8 million, it’s still not enough.
紐約市的一些社區需要獲得更多的資源和支持，而這些只有投票和其他形式的公民參與才能辦到。登記選民是接觸選民的第一步。隨著總統選舉的即將到來，全國性的話題已經轉向強調影響 5 個行政區以外全體美國人的更廣泛問題。
But we can’t forget about what’s happening in our own city. Voting is the simplest way to be part of changing NYC for the better. The first way to create that change is to get more New Yorkers registered to vote.
2024 年全國選民登記日是什麼時候？
September 17, 2024 is National Voter Registration Day. It’s America’s largest nonpartisan civic holiday. Held on a Tuesday in September every year since its inception in 2012, organizations and public figures have championed the cause, adding their voices to the thousands of participants encouraging voter registration in events nationwide throughout the day.
How to Register to Vote in NYC this NVRD

Registering to vote is the first step in engaging with your city meaningfully. It empowers you to influence New York City’s elected leaders on the issues that really matter to you: the cost of rent, access to basic resources, effective public transportation, and education.

紐約市 2024 年選民登記截止日期
We all have a lot going on, and election dates in NYC can be easy to lose track of, but here's one to remember: the deadline to register to vote in New York City is October 26, 2024.
The first day of early voting in NYC is also the last day to register to vote in the upcoming 2024 election.
但是一旦您登記投票，在投票之前就少了一件需要考慮的事情。
全國選民登記日是什麼？
全國選民登記日 (NVRD) 是一項全國性的行動號召，透過各種選民登記倡議和活動來增加全縣的選民登記和參與度。它的目的是確保所有有資格的公民都能參與我們民主的基本組成部分。 登記是這個流程的開端。
NVRD was established in 2012 by a coalition of non-profit organizations and civic groups to address gaps in voter registration and to encourage civic engagement. About 2000 civic organizations around the country helped launch the first National Voter Registration Day. Notable figures in sports, entertainment, and politics added their voices to the thousands of volunteers working on the ground to encourage voter registration. The nationwide coalition shares graphics for social media posts, field resources, logo merchandise, and coordinates fundraising and volunteer efforts.
雖然 NVRD 是全國許多組織協調努力的成果，但像 NYC Votes 這樣的當地團體也引導著我們自己的社區，以便直接聽取選民的意見並共享紐約市特定的資源。
參與 2024 年紐約市全國選民登記日的方式
無論您是否已經登記，還是只是想幫助您認識的人，都有很多方法可以參與。
You can help by organizing or participating in local voter registration drives at community centers, libraries, and schools. Or join us at one of our NYC Votes volunteer events!
Gently nudging your neighbors and friends, and family to check their voter registration status or register to vote can’t hurt either.
Collaborating with local organizations that focus on voter education and outreach (like us!) can help ensure more people are informed about their voting rights.
A History of Voting in NYC
In honor of National Voter Registration Day this year, let’s take a closer look at the history of voting in New York City.
- 第一次全市選舉警報
紐約市於 1665 年舉行了第一次市政選舉，當時市民投票選出包括市長在內的地方領導人。 - 1965 年《投票權法案》
這條聯邦法對紐約市產生了重大影響，特別是布魯克林、布朗克斯和曼哈頓，有助於改善當時非常低的選民登記率。 - 青少年投票權
紐約的投票年齡在 1971 年從 21 歲降為 18 歲。 - 您好！
到了 1988 年成立競選財務委員會，旨在消除參與選舉的障礙，並鼓勵城市政治透明化。從那時起，我們一直在打一場聖戰！
As November approaches, New Yorkers have an opportunity to shape our future. Voting is not just a right. It’s a powerful tool for driving change on the issues that matter most to this city and holding our elected leaders accountable to our communities. By first registering and then making a plan to vote in the upcoming election, you help ensure that our values are represented by those who represent us. Let’s put that registration to good use and get every registered NYC voter to the polls this November!
對 NYC Votes 來說，每一天都是選民登記日！
