WEST OLIVE, Mich. (WOOD) — Today is the observance of National Voter Registration Day, yet it is important to note that it doesn’t happen solely on presidential election years. It happens every year, roughly a week after Constitution Day on Sept. 17. 

According to Ottawa County Clerk Justin Roebuck, this year’s registration day which would typically be marked by in-person events at high schools and universities across the region, has shifted to online outreach and can serve as a powerful bookmark before the Nov. 3rd election. He also said he was encouraged this year by not only the spike in questions and overall interest but also the number of citizens in the county registering to vote.
