Temperance and Good Citizenship Day is January 16, 2020

Observation of Temperance and Good Citizenship Day is meant to promote civics education and peaceful citizen engagement.

“Though many students would hate the idea of their parents making every decision for them, they forget that’s essentially what happens when they don’t vote for themselves. By providing immediate access to registration, we hope to empower students. To remind these young citizens that they have an indispensable voice in shaping the future of our state, nation and world.”

- Secretary of State Kim Wyman
