Register to Vote Using Your Xbox

I Voted The 2008 election is almost upon us and many people still aren’t aware of the impact they have when they vote. Voting, especially for women, had become a well-deserved and well fought for privilege 88 years ago and since then, has become our responsibility; not just as women, but as Americans. This election is the most historic and crucial election perhaps in all of history and to let this election go by and staying silent would be a travesty. So while you’re playing video games, even if you’re unable to get yourself away for the amount of time it takes to download, print out, sign and mail out a voter registration form, Xbox has you covered!

You can now register to vote using your Xbox who have recently partnered up with Rock the Vote. As long as you have an Xbox Live membership it is completely free to sign up to vote; not only that, but it is pretty easy to do, too! With over 12 million members currently on Xbox Live, what they are doing is absolutely amazing to get more people out to the polls.

Not only can you register to vote, but Xbox has made voting fun with online polls and downloadable gamer pics of the candidates to show your support!

    I work at a company with a ton of xbox pro players and we did not really use this for any kind of political stuff. Do you know how well this worked?

    Has this actually been used? I’m a keen Xbox 360 user and heard nothing about it? And how would they be able to prove your identity?

  9. xbox faults fixed fast on Thu, 6th Aug 2009 11:33 pm 

    Most people don’t realise until it’s too late that 7 out of 10 Xboxes develop serious faults including the 3 light ‘red ring of death’, E74, freezing and much more. We offer a 1 hour fix alternative as opposed to a 6 – 12 week wait if you use a reair center
