This year Rock the Vote is forging the largest youth voter registration campaign in history and has reached this historic milestone with more than 2.3 million individuals registering to vote through www.rockthevote.com. Rock the Vote’s Road Trip is a state-of-the-art mobile road show designed to reach out to the nation’s youth that will traverse key states and fully maximize voter turnout, education and engagement efforts by staging high profile events featuring musical talent and speakers.

Rock the Vote’s Road Trip tour bus is outfitted with computer kiosks that assist in fielding requests for absentee ballots, educating users about key issues and the election process, providing polling locations, shuttling to early voting locations and much more.

Rock the Vote partnered with the Flobots to do registration at their record release event in Los Angeles, and will join the Flobots in Des Moines on the Road Trip. Progressive in both style and message, the Flobot's ability to drop from symphonic rock-infused crescendos into stripped-down string-laden breakbeats has earned Flobots a reputation for both originality and authenticity. Check out their music at: http://www.rockthevote.com/music/featured-artist/flobots.html.

The Rock the Vote Road Trip bus will cross the country in a race to reach voters, with stops in Minneapolis, Omaha, Des Moines, Iowa City, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia and Columbus.
