National Voter Registration Day is coming up on September 22nd and Foot Locker is partnering with Rock the Vote to leverage retail locations as voter registration sites to speak specifically to Gen Z consumers. Foot Locker is joining Rock the Vote's Brands for Democracy to encourage eligible voters to do their civic duty, especially as there will be four million young people who are eligible to vote for the very first time in November.
Leading up to National Voter Registration Day, retail locations for Foot Locker's family of brands will be sharing one-click access to a digital hub that helps consumers see their registration status, register to vote if they haven't already and opt-in to receive reminders for the upcoming election.
