(CNN) Youth-focused voter engagement organizations saw record high voter registration and engagement numbers on National Voter Registration Day. Rock the Vote, the longstanding nonpartisan voter registration organization, had their biggest National Voter Registration Day ever, the organization told CNN. According to the organization, 200,000 people submitted voter registration applications or confirmed their registration across all sites that use Rock the Vote's platform Tuesday. For comparison, in 2016, Rock the Vote had just under 105,000 registrations on National Voter Registration Day. "The engagement we saw on National Voter Registration Day is really encouraging," Carolyn DeWitt, president of Rock the Vote, told CNN.
