EGF and Gamers.Vote Partner To Encourage All Gamers To Register & Vote
“EGF’s high school and D-I collegiate programs feature countless gamers and fans who are voting for the first time -- brand new voters that are taking an active part in the democratic process. We’re excited to work with Gamers.Vote to help these students through the process and celebrate their first or even second national election. This wise group taking part in the process is a force for making a real impact on our futures,” said Tyler Schrodt, Founder of EGF.
“Voting is 100% more effective than complaining on the internet.” Christie St. Martin, CEO, Gamers.Vote. “Registering takes FIVE minutes to ensure that you have a voice in our democracy. If you’ve already registered, it’s a great time to make sure your teammates, friends and followers have too.”
According to Gamers.Vote and the Pew Research Center, half of the adult population in the United States play video games. That is over 133 million potential voters, making gamers one of the largest voting blocks in American history. EGF will be promoting Games.Vote through all EGF Twitch broadcasts, social media and Discord messaging from the launch of the EGFC D-I collegiate season and EGFH high school season through Election Day.
Gamers.Vote is a broad coalition of the best gamers, game companies and streamers in the world with the same mission: get other gamers to register and vote. Gamers.Vote has no party preference, political agenda, or stance on the issues. Its sole purpose is to encourage gamers to vote.
