Your Ticket to Vote at The Biggest Event of 2020

Voting is a pillar of our democracy. In the United States, we all have a civic responsibility to get out the vote in the presidential election this November. At Eventbrite, we’re taking action to empower the creators on our platform with tools to drive voter registration and education, because every voice and every vote matters. 

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 56% of the U.S. voting-age population cast ballots in the 2016 presidential election. Low voter turnout is often driven by issues like confusion about deadlines, logistics, and election procedures. Eventbrite's mission is to bring the world together through live experiences which drives empowerment, education, and expression. We’re doubling down on our mission to bring the country together as we get closer to the 2020 election.

To make this a reality, we’re partnering with HeadCount, a non-partisan organization that registers voters at events. Starting today, Eventbrite customers can add “Register to Vote with HeadCount” as an add-on free ticket type for their events. When attendees choose to add this ticket to their order, they will automatically receive an email with information on how to register to vote and mail-in voting, check their voter status, and get updates and alerts on their polling place, ballot, and voting options. 

Our partnership with HeadCount helps us equip event creators and ticket buyers with the resources they need to ensure their voice is heard. Together, we are promoting clarity, ease of access, and ownership of the voting process to ensure people across the U.S. take civic action in their communities this year and for years to come.
