为什么全国选民登记日对纽约市如此重要
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.
纽约市各地的社区需要获得更多的资源和支持，而只有投票和其他形式的公民参与才能提供这些资源和支持。登记选民是接触选民的第一步。随着总统大选日益临近，全国热议的话题已转向关注影响 5 个行政区以外美国人的更广泛问题。
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 年全国选民登记日是什么时候？
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
如果纽约的一切都像登记投票一样简单就好了。
You can register to vote online with NYC Votes and TurboVote. It takes less than 5 minutes to register to vote in NYC!
You can also complete a voter registration form and mail it to the Board of Elections or visit your local office to register in person.
Or join one of the many 2024 National Voter Registration Day events happening around the city, and ask a volunteer to help you get registered!
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.
If you’re having any trouble getting registered, NYC Votes is here to help!
纽约市 2024 年选民登记截止日期
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.
但一旦您登记投票，在投票前就不用再考虑这件事了。
什么是全国选民登记日？
全国选民登记日（NVRD）是一项全国性的行动号召，通过选民登记倡议和活动来增加全县的选民登记和参与度。其目的是确保所有合资格民都能参与我们民主的基本组成部分。登记是该过程的开始。
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.
虽然 NVRD 是由全国各地的许多组织协调努力的结果，但像 NYC Votes 这样的地方团体在我们自己的社区中发挥带头作用，以便直接听取选民的意见并分享纽约市特定的资源。
参与 2024 年纽约市全国选民登记日的方式
无论您是否已经登记或只是想帮助您认识的人，都有很多方法可以参与。
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.
- 首次全市选举预警
纽约市于 1665 年举行了首次市政选举，当时市民投票选举了包括市长在内的地方领导人。 - 1965 年《选举权法案》
这条联邦法律对纽约市，特别是布鲁克林、布朗克斯和曼哈顿产生了重大影响，帮助提高了当时非常低的选民登记率。 - 青年投票权
1971 年，纽约的投票年龄从 21 岁降为 18 岁。 - 嘿，是我们！
1988 年，竞选财务委员会成立，旨在消除参与选举的障碍并鼓励城市政治的透明度。从那时起我们就一直在为正义而战！
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!
NYC Votes 的每一天都是选民登记日！
