'Hamilton' cast records 'Election of 2024' to urge voter registration

The cast of “Hamilton” has posted a video urging people to check their voter registration status ahead of National Voter Registration Day, which is Tuesday. The artists performed a song titled “The Election of 2024” and promoted the video in partnership with When We All Vote and VoteRiders.

“For the good of our republic, let’s make sure we all vote,” the group said during the performance. The tune was recorded in line with “Hamilton” melodies and encouraged citizens to cast their ballot through rhymes and couplets.

“Look it up, look it up, check your status at WhenWeAllVote.org, next DM or text three friends to check for sure they are registered in the state or city they live in now,” the cast sang. “Even better, you can show them how.” To the tune of “Here Comes the General,” actor Jean-Marc Delacruz shouted, “I am not throwing away my vote, folks.”

“We need all the help we can get. Go call your friends, sign up, organize, make sure they don’t forget to register. Find your voting location, this nation depends on participation,” he sang. No candidate was favored in the post, as both of the organizations involved are nonpartisan.

I moved in 2022 several times. When I landed where I'm living now; I did what I thought was the right research for my new polling place.

They had me cast a provisional ballot. The I got a letter about ?2 months later saying my vote was invalid. 🫤

I called my BOE. They're sending me a new registration form. After I send it back they'll send me my voter's card, and proper voting address. 👍
