Tegan and Sara and Rina Sawayama are among several artists who have teamed up with nonprofit #iVoted for a concert sweepstakes, which aims to increase participation of young voters in the upcoming midterm elections in the U.S.
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.
#iVoted in partnership with AEG Presents will give away concert tickets to Tegan and Sara, Sawayama, Santigold, Soccer Mommy, Cannibal Corpse, Tigers Jaw, Russian Circles, and more on election night.
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.
“AEG Presents has always defined taste and led from the forefront with cutting edge artists, talent and shows. Their election night concerts are no exception,” #iVoted founder and CEO Emily White said in a statement. “We’re ecstatic to partner and drive fans to the polls this election season just as early and absentee voting gets underway.”
