Ariana Grande has set up voter registration booths for her upcoming tour because what’s better than bopping along to Thank U, Next and then exercising your civil rights.
The singer has partnered with HeadCount, a non-profit organisation which works with artists to set up the booths at concert venues; HeadCount has previously partnered with Beyonce and JAY-Z and the Dixie Chicks.
‘Welcome to the #thankunextgen#ArianaGrande tour kicks off today and you’ll be able to #RegisterToVote at every stop#TheFutureIsVoting | #thankunext,’ the organisation tweeted on Tuesday.
‘Together, we designed #thankunextgen, a program to help Ariana’s fans make their voices heard.’
Concert attendees will also be able to text ARIANA to 40649 to register, volunteer, contact legislators or get an alert on their 18th birthday to register to vote.
‘This is insane. she’s on another level. voting is so important and this is just … she’s amazing,’ shared one fan on Twitter while another added: She’s not having it w us young people not voting & letting them oldies control it all. I love her.’
