Concerts for Votes: TurnUpYVR entices early polling with school bus rock TODAY

October 10, 2015 by Jessica Brodeur

What do you get when you mix democracy and rock? If you guessed Derockracy, you're only half right. TurnUpYVR is a group that's hoping to encourage early polling by filling a school bus full of local musicians and reminding young voters to cast early. From their website,

"Ride along withDan Mangan, Kuba Oms, Shawn Hall of The Harpoonist & the Axe Murderer with Shaun Verreault of Wide Mouth Mason, Zaac Pick, Charlie Kerr of JPNSGRLS, Ryan Guldemond ofMother Mother, the The Boom Booms, and others as we host bus-based concerts that shuttle you to voting locations."

That's right, friends... you'll get a ride to the polls. With bands playing. Find out what some of your favourite local artists from bands like Bend Sinister, Hey Ocean!, Gold & Youth, Rococe and more think about Canadian democracy on the TurnUpYVR blog. 

Just grab your registered voting cards, your ID, and your democratic spirits. The bus picks up from City Hall - don't forget to check your riding and find out what time to show up. You'll never have more fun voting - guaranteed.
