Network Initiatives for Last Phase of
Midterm Election Campaign “+1 the Vote” Include Celebrity PSAs,
Parties at the Polls Across the Country and More
MTV kicked off the final phase of its first ever midterm
campaign, “+1 the Vote,” by announcing a series of new initiatives
and plans for an “Election Afterparty” at Miami Dade College (MDC)
on Tuesday, November 6th from 7PM to 10PM ET. The event is set to
be the largest youth-focused election party in the country and will
feature performances by Fat Joe, PRETTYMUCH, DJ Nasty and Lauren
Jauregui. The “Afterparty” kicks off when the polls close in
Florida and will celebrate the efforts of young people across the
nation getting out the vote.
“+1 the Vote” was created in order to harness the power of
friendship and ignite the most powerful voting bloc in the country.
As part of the final phase of the campaign, MTV and Civic Nation’s
#VoteTogether – with support from “Grown-ish” star Yara Shahidi and
“Eighteenx18” – partnered to supercharge youth voter participation
by funding parties at the polls in all 50 states. The first party
took place on October 20th in Fresno, CA, and attracted hundreds of
young voters, and similar events are planned for the weeks leading
to the “Election Afterparty.”
Additionally, the youth brand will roll out a series of new
Spanish-language PSAs encouraging young people to register and
vote, and launch an interactive election map profiling young
candidates and activists across the country. MTV News launched its
explainer series highlighting leading artists and celebrities
breaking down the importance of the midterm elections – the first
of which includes Olympic star Adam Rippon. They will continue to
roll out videos through election night that will feature
Macklemore, R&B Duo Chloe & Halle, and Lauren Jauregui.
MTV’s “Election Afterparty” is an 18+ event and is first come,
first serve subject to capacity.
