Editor’s Note: Now that the 2020 US election has taken place, this ticket type has been disabled.聽
With the S presidential election just two weeks away, it鈥檚 time to make sure that every eligible US citizen has a plan to ensure their voice is heard. In July, 91国产 partnered with HeadCount, a non-partisan organization that registers people to vote at events across the country, to create a free 鈥淩egister to Vote with HeadCount鈥� ticket type, which gave eligible attendees a path to register to vote online as an add-on when buying tickets to events that enabled it.聽
Now that online voting registration deadlines have passed, we鈥檙e shifting the purpose of the HeadCount ticket type to offer your attendees information to make a plan to vote along with their tickets. The rebranded 鈥�鈥� ticket type will allow creators to provide attendees with a link in their order confirmation email to check their voter status, voting options, and polling place, so they can make sure their voice is heard this election.聽
If you鈥檝e enabled the 鈥淩egister to Vote with HeadCount鈥� ticket type for your events, this will now be hidden. If you鈥檇 like to enable this new 鈥淢ake a plan to vote with HeadCount!鈥� ticket type for your in-person and online events in the US, it鈥檚 easy:
- First, navigate to your Event Manage page. Create an event and set up your basic event information: the name, location, and any other details.聽
- If you want to add this ticket type to a pre-existing event, navigate to the tickets tab of that event.
- Once you create an admission ticket, hit save and you鈥檒l see a new ticket type appear with an American flag icon and an Election Day message.聽
- To opt in and turn on this ticket type for your event, select the toggle and a free 鈥淩egister to Vote鈥� ticket type will appear on your event (you can see this by navigating to the add-ons tab, or viewing your ticket listing page). That鈥檚 it! You have now enabled the ticket type to appear on your purchase page.聽
- Ticket buyers will then be able to select it as an add-on to their order when registering for tickets to your event, and easily complete a voter registration application online.聽
- After Election Day this ticket type will automatically be hidden from your events.聽
Note: Ticket add-ons, including this feature, are not available for event organizers in the essential package.聽
