LEESBURG, VA — Loudoun County will host a National Voter Registration Day event from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at the Office of Elections and Voter Registration, 750 Miller Drive SE, Suite C, in Leesburg.

“We will have tables and chairs set up in the parking lot outside our office for a cookout with hot dogs, chips and water," Loudoun County General Registrar Judy Brown said in a statement.

"We invite anyone who would like to register to vote to come out and see us on the 24th,” she said. “It’s a festive event for a serious purpose: to help ensure that everyone in the county who is eligible to vote is properly registered.”

In addition to registering new voters, Brown’s staff will help other voters update their registration information if necessary and will also provide information about the upcoming general election on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

The last day to register to vote before the election is Tuesday, Oct. 15. Absentee voting is scheduled to begin Friday, Sept. 20.

National Voter Registration Day is observed on the fourth Tuesday of September by election officials across the United States. In 2018, more than 800,000 voters used National Voter Registration Day to register to vote.
