Authors and Readers #BooktheVote and Reach Millions
;void(0);){kind=link}
Since Book the Vote launched in early September, we have seen amazing enthusiasm and energy from our authors, readers, and employees who have spread the word about this campaign. Thanks to your great work, there have been 36 million unique web impressions for the hashtag #BooktheVote!
The Penguin Random House partnership with HeadCount has generated, to date, 127 registrations and 243 sign-ups for election alerts, which are some of the highest numbers for any HeadCount partnership. In total, the voting organization estimates that Penguin Random House is responsible for about 500 voter registrations.
With the November elections less than two weeks away, this non-partisan initiative comes at a critical time for encouraging readers to participate in the electoral process.
