HeadCount, the non-profit organization that partners with musicians to register voters, set a new personal best this weekend at Bonnaroo, surpassing the previous record of 1,211 registrations set at Bonnaroo 2016.
"This is incredible," executive director Andy Bernstein said in a press release. "Essentially a year and a half away from the 2020 election, we are already seeing this level of excitement from young Americans about voting. 2018 saw a more than 50% increase in youth voter turnout in Midterms, I can only imagine what this type of moment this will create for 2020."
