With less than seven weeks left until crucial midterm elections, over 100 mosques and community organizations across the country joined a coordinated effort this past Friday to register Muslim voters as part of National Muslim Voter Registration Day, a non-partisan initiative led by MPower Change.
Registration efforts spanned 18 states where volunteers reached thousands of Muslim American voters in regions with competitive local races and high-stakes federal elections. Organizers helped community members register to vote, check and update their registration, and learn about their voting options within their districts.

This year’s midterm elections come at a historic moment for Muslim Americans as they are elected to office and launching new campaigns in record-breaking numbers.
“This year is a very important year for us to send a message to our community that they are still worthy, they are Americans that deserve to participate in democracy while very powerful people in this country are telling us we don't belong here,” MPower Change co-founder and executive director Linda Sarsour told KPBS in San Diego.
If you are interested in covering how Muslim American communities are preparing for the 2026 elections between now and November 3—including voter registration, policy priorities, or other local organizing efforts—I’d be happy to facilitate interviews and provide additional context and resources.
