Rock the Vote on Your Xbox 360
Microsoft has announced that it is partnering with Rock the Vote to allow Xbox Live users to register to vote through their Xbox 360s. Registration will go live starting August 25, with the company also providing polls and a forum for discussing presidential candidates.
“If Xbox Live were a state, it would rank as the country’s seventh largest, giving it approximately 20 electoral votes,” Microsoft said. Xbox Live currently has 12 million users.
“Xbox is a natural partner to help us reach out to youth voters,” said Rock the Vote director Heather Smith. “To realize our goal of registering 2 million young Americans by this fall, we need to go where young Americans are, and there’s no doubt in our minds that many are on Xbox 360 and Xbox Live.”
