The National Voter Registration Act

Employment & Family Services (EFS) provides voter registration services to all individuals who visit a Neighborhood Family Service Center (NFSC) to apply for assistance, re-certify benefits or to notify of an address change. We hope you will take advantage of our conveniently located NFSCs to register to vote. There are seven NFSC sites: Click here to find Neighborhood Service Center or in the navigation bar on the left side of these pages to find a center nearest you. Each center has a voter registration box with available registration cards. Look for the box at each center’s waiting room. The cards will be collected by a designated county employee and hand delivered to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.

During your visit to a NFSC you will be provided with a voter registration application and declination form. If you need assistance filling it out the voter registration just ask at the Welcome Center for the NVRA site coordinator for the NFSC you are visiting. Each NFSC also has posted in the waiting areas the NVRA site coordinator contact information.
