A graphic on a purple background. At the top, a white and yellow banner with purple text reads "It's National Voter Registration Day!" Below that, more text reads, "Join us in celebrating this important civic holiday by making sure you're registered to vote so you're ready for Election Day. Tell your friends to get registered too!" On the right is a cutout photo of a young women with long dark hair wearing a VOTE411 t-shirt and holding up a sticker for National Voter Registration Day. At the bottom of the graphic are the logos for VOTE411 and the League of Women Voters.
