iHeartMedia has launched a non-partisan campaign in which musicians and others share the importance of heading to the polls—or submitting mail-in ballots. Billie Eilish, Brothers Osborne, Dan + Shay, Darius Rucker, John Legend and Selena Gomez are among the participants in “Why I’m Voting.”
“Why I’m Voting” will also be incorporated into the iHeartRadio marquee music events taking place before Election Day, including the 10th anniversary of the iHeartRadio Music Festival in September, along with the iHeartCountry Festival and iHeartRadio 2020 Fiesta Latina, both airing in October.
“With voter turnout expected to hit record numbers on Election Day, ‘Why I’m Voting’ presents a rare opportunity for people of all backgrounds and beliefs to have their voices heard by millions of their fellow Americans before we cast our votes in November,” said John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises for iHeartMedia.
Beginning today and running until Election Day (11/3), iHeartMedia will also give listeners a chance to answer the simple question: “Why am I voting?” Listeners can hear thoughts from some of today’s biggest celebrities and cultural leaders and record and submit their own 20 second or less audio or video message here.
Additionally, iHeart launched its “Why I’m Voting” podcast today, featuring conversations with artists, celebrities and cultural influencers on why and how this year’s elections will shape our future.
