The #iVoted Festival is back to help increase voter turnout for the 2022 midterm elections. In addition to the namesake livestream festival taking place on November 8 with over 400 artists, #iVoted has also partnered with AEG Presents to give away concert tickets to Tegan and Sara, Santigold, Rina Sawayama, Soccer Mommy, Cannibal Corpse, Tigers Jaw, Russian Circles, and more on election night. Starting on September 26, fans can enter the sweepstakes by submitting a selfie outside of their polling place or at home with a blank ballot.
All sweepstake entries will automatically grant fans access to the #iVoted Festival webcast on November 8. The virtual event will feature performances by Run the Jewels, Lake Street Dive, the Range, Shakey Graves, Rise Against, OK Go, Jordana, and Bully, among others.
#iVoted is a non-partisan 501(c)3 non-profit founded by Emily White, Mike Luba, and Wilco’s Pat Sansone. Their 2020 virtual concert included performances by Billie Eilish, Jeff Tweedy, Julien Baker, and others.
