Voter registration drive

A voter registration drive (VRD) is a coordinated effort to register new voters. Participants in a voter registration drive distribute voter registration forms, provide assistance in completing them, and return the forms to elections offices.

State laws govern how voter registration drives are conducted. As of 2020, eleven states required participants in voter registration drives to undergo training. Twenty-two states set special deadlines for the return of voter registration forms collected in drives. Finally, seven states required groups to pre-register with the state or to report on its registration activities.
