EGG HARBOR, N.J., Sept. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- With COVID-19, Black Lives Matter, social justice, climate change and more, it's safe to say 2020 has been a hell of a year. We know these issues are important to our entire Spencer's Nation of fans and associates. That's why we're teaming up with Rock the Vote and their powerful mission of building the political power of young people.

Rock the Vote has revolutionized the way we use pop culture, music, art and technology to engage young people in politics and build our collective power. Spencer's continues to dedicate itself to creating an experience that allows fans to celebrate who they are and what they stand for without judgment – together, it's a killer collab. Every Spencer's store features a Rock the Vote display and outfits associates with face masks and buttons to help spread the word and get people registered and ready for the 2020 election!

The collaboration encourages eligible voters not to wait and register as early as possible. The custom-created Rock the Vote election center for Spencer's fans and associates has everything needed to check their registration status and find out how to register in their state. Registrants can also find their local polling place, get election reminders and understand how COVID-19 affects voting in their area. Everyone can also help make sure their friends, family and colleagues are registered and ready by pledging to vote and tagging three others to do the same.

"At Spencer's, we're keeping our doors closed until 12 p.m. on Election Day so all associates can get out there and vote!," said Steven Silverstein, president and CEO, Spencer's. "We don't want anyone to have to choose between their job and their fundamental rights."

Spencer's and Rock the Vote are committed to making sure your voice gets heard.
