FanMail and long-time clients and friends, HeadCount, teamed up for a voter-registration drive at the beginning of October. With the deadline to register for the upcoming election as early as October 5 in some states, time was of the essence.

As we all know, democracy only works if we all exercise our right to vote. HeadCount approached us with the idea of allowing FanMail's clients to send a free mailer to their subscribers encouraging them to register and vote. This proved amazingly successful. Over the course of just a couple of days, FanMail and it's clients sent almost a half of a million registration reminders and successfully registered thousands of previously unregistered voters.

Thank you to all of our amazing clients, such as Another Planet Entertainment, Outside Lands Festival, Gathering of the Vibes, SCI Fidelity Records, and Umphrey's McGee, who participated in this event, and if you haven't done so, please register to vote. The deadline has not passed in many states yet, but time is running out.

Please go to www.headcount.org to register and see a list of each state's requirements and deadlines.

We would like to congratulate long time FanMail client Headcount on their new documentary. HeadCount is a non-partisan organization devoted to using the multi-faceted power of music to enable voter registration and participation in democracy.

With interviews from folks like Bob Weir, Bela Fleck, Trey Anastasio, Michael Franti, Patrick Jordan, Johnathan Schwartz and more, this documentary is a real call to action for the music industry to change the world.
