Register To VoteWhen registering to vote, you will need to provide personal information, including name, address and identification. This information is required by your state government as part of the registration process. Any personal information or other unique identifiers required by law for voter registration that are submitted in the process of registering to vote are used to produce the voter registration form to send to your local or state election officials and for the sole use of the National Association of REALTORS®. Any detailed information beyond your name and address (such as a state identification number or social security number) is NOT retained or stored. While the National Association of REALTORS® is providing this service to make it easier for you to register to vote (and we encourage you do so!), your registration form will be sent to and processed by your state or local election officials. To find out the status of your voter registration application, please contact your Secretary of State or local elections official (you will be given the correct office name and address after you have completed your registration form). |
Get Involved - REALTOR® Party
The REALTOR® Party is a powerful alliance of REALTORS® and REALTOR® Associations working to protect and promote homeownership and property investment. The REALTOR® Party speaks with one voice to advance candidates that build strong communities and promote a vibrant business environment.
Now more than ever, it is critical for REALTORS® across America to come together and speak with one voice about the stability a sound and dynamic real estate market brings to our communities. From city hall to the state house to the U.S. Capitol, our elected officials are making decisions that have a huge impact on the bottom line of REALTORS® and their customers. Through the support of REALTORS® like you, the REALTOR® Party represents your interests.
The REALTOR® Party is effective at all levels of government because of its grassroots strength. That strength is exhibited in advocacy as well as community involvement. The REALTOR® Party works hand in hand with the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC).
REALTOR® Political Action Committee (RPAC)
Since 1969, the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) has promoted the election of pro-REALTOR® candidates across the United States. The purpose of RPAC is clear: voluntary contributions made by REALTORS® are used to help elect candidates who understand and support their interests. These are not members’ dues; this is money given freely by REALTORS® in recognition of the importance of the political process.
Individual Major Investors
RPAC’s Major Investor Program consists of an elite and passionate group of REALTOR® investors who partner with NAR to shape the political future of the real estate industry. Members of the Major Investor Program are eligible to participate in the RPAC Recognition Program, with specific benefits and accolades that acknowledge their support of RPAC.
