The many months of campaigning, rallies, misleading messaging, debates and posturing are almost over. There are now just 7 days more days and it's Election Day, 2020 on NOVEMBER 3rd. Make sure your vote counts -- vote early! Mail your ballots in early or drop them in a certified drop box. Or get in line at your local polling station if early voting is offered.
Be part of the biggest voter turnout in history with over 62. million people having voted so far, surpassing 2016's total early vote with just a week to go. Experts predict 90-100 million people may have already voted before Election Day. This huge turnout helps to legitimize our upcoming elections.
What? Not registered to vote? Do something about it right now and help your listeners get registered, too.
Don't Miss The Opportunity To Register & Vote
As of TODAY (10/25), the windows to register to vote are closing on a state by state basis. Getting registered in time to vote and to request a mail-in ballot if you do not plan to vote in person is critical ... you can check out a state-by-state list of voter registration deadlines, here.
The following states allow voter registration, some have restrictions, on Election Day: CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, CONNECTICUT, WASHINGTON, DC, HAWAII, IDAHO, ILLINOIS, IOWA, MAINE, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MONTANA, NEVADA, NEW HAMPSIRE, NORTH CAROLINA, NORTH DAKOTA, RHODE ISLAND, UTAH, VERMONT, WASHINGTON, WISCONSIN and WYOMING.
Be prepared in all cases to bring proof residency in that state, and a picture ID.
Do not delay! Are you registered to vote? Election Day is NOVEMBER 3rd, just 7 days away from TODAY, OCTOBER 25th -- and if you haven't registered don't blow your chance to have a say in your future. Power only matters if you use it. Urge your listeners to exercise that power: register and vote. Remind your listeners how important registering/voting is. Remember ... not voting is not a statement. It’s a surrender. You have the power to determine America’s future … but only by voting! Remember, Patriots vote. And they remind their friends to vote. Every. Single. Vote. Counts.
Your right to vote is precious -- and all you need to do is register and then vote. It takes just a few minutes of your time to register and then vote. ALAN BURNS & ASSOCIATES + ALL ACCESS are proud to have created YOUGOTTA.VOTE to help get you and your radio audiences to register and vote.
Hundreds of companies across AMERICA have joined or launched campaigns to encourage registration and voting in this fall's national elections. Most popular music artists have lent their names, voices, and image to voting campaigns, as have thousands of radio stations, including the hundreds using the campaign assets at YOU.GOTTA.VOTE.
Consumer goods marketers like PATAGONIA, ABSOLUT, UNDER ARMOUR, GAP, TOMMY HILFIGER, and OLD NAVY know that this election matters to their customers and their brand. In media, iHEART, CUMULUS, TOWNSQUARE, SONY RECORDS and VIACOMCBS are just a few of the heavyweights getting the word out.
Many campaigns are branded, such as Rock the Vote; others, like YOUGOTTA.VOTE, offer unbranded assets and information that can be folded into any campaign. JOEL DENVER, who co-founded YOUGOTTA.VOTE with ALAN BURNS, noted that "It doesn't matter whose campaign you participate in or what it's called. What matters is that you help encourage participation this fall." ALAN BURNS added "The more people who vote this FALL, the greater the likelihood that AMERICANS will have confidence in the result."
